Raghida Dergham, "Will Obama Be Reagan Or Gorbachev?," Al-Arabiya (Nov. 8, 2008)

Commentary originally published in al-Hayat (London). Some interesting speculation on the makeup of Obama's cabinet.

Lou Zickar, "As Obama channels Reagan, the real McCain vanishes," Chicago Tribune (Oct. 19, 2008)

A really interesting piece of commentary about the relationship between politics and charisma. The author is a long-time Reagan Republican who's considering a vote for Obama because, to him, he represents the kind of idealism, commitment, and values he saw embodied in Reagan in 1980, whereas McCain, at least in his current political incarnation, represents cynicism, manipulation, and "politics-as-usual."

Anna Blackshaw, "My Enemy, My Brother (interview with David Gorssman on the conflict betwen Israel and Palestine)," The Sun Magazine (October 2008)

This is only an excerpt from the full interview. Even the excerpt is worth a read though. Grossman is an Israeli writer who manages to combine a powerful and ongoing activism for peace and justice for Palestinians, a strong and unapologetic sense of Israel's Jewish, Zionist, and historical distrinctiveness, and a genuinely poetic sensibility. His son Uri, a tank commander, was killed in the summer-before-last's fighting in Lebanon. Themes of the interview overlap strikingly with Appleby's work, I think.
