I'm running because I don't want to do business as usual," he said. "People say 'Well, he may have good ideas, he may be inspiring, but he hasn't been in Washington long enough.' They want to season and stew me until they boil all the hope out of me, like everybody else." Michelle Barfield, 41, a cocktail server at the Fremont, said she identified with the fact that Obama had been raised by a single mother, because she had been one herself. "He knew what it's like to be in those shoes," she said. She had nothing against the other candidates, she said, but said she put no stock in those who wonder whether the union can command its members' loyalty or whether it can be divided by Clinton's furious efforts or other influences.

Worldview: The lesson jihadis fear
Pakistan has made news lately as the world's most dangerous country: a nuclear-armed state that has become a base for al-Qaeda, the Taliban and other fanatic Islamists. But on my trip there last month, I saw an antidote to this nightmare, a route out of this trap - if Pakistan's government and the West would only seize it. I traveled to mountain villages with Greg Mortenson, a former mountain climber who has built 55 schools in Pakistan and eight in Afghanistan. Mortenson got lost 15 years ago descending from K-2, and promised to build a school for the villagers who rescued and nursed him. His formula for countering extremism is summed up in the title of his best-selling book: Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time. After building his first school, Mortenson set up the Central Asia Institute (www.ikat.org) to build schools in Pakistan's most remote areas, where the government fails to provide education.
