Will Hillary Clinton Run For The Democratic Nomination Unopposed?

Linda Feldmann, Jan. 26, 2015, Christian Science Monitor

Martin O’Malley, who just left the governor’s chair in Maryland, has long been preparing to run. But he is holding back. Ditto Vice President Joe Biden, who has long wanted to make a third try for the Oval Office. Last week, he told ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos that “there’s a chance” he’ll run, but he’s seen as ready to run only if Clinton doesn't. Jim Webb, a one-term former senator from Virginia, says he’s running, but he’s a long shot.

Instability...anxiety

House Of Saud Divided: Generational Shift Seen In Royal Succession Battle

Taylor Luck, Jan. 9, 2015, Christian Science Monitor

With 91-year-old Abdullah’s hospitalization with pneumonia Jan. 2, all eyes in Saudi Arabia immediately turned to Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz, the king’s 79-year-old half-brother and a former defense minister.

Yet due to Salman’s own deteriorating health – those close to the palace say the crown prince is suffering from the early stages of dementia – a campaign is growing within Riyadh to bypass Salman and give the throne to Deputy Crown Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz, 69, another of the king’s half brothers, should Abdullah be deemed unfit to rule.

What Is George W. Bush's Only Regret Over Invading Iraq?

Husna Haq, Nov. 10, 2014, Christian Science Monitor

“My regret is that a violent group of people has risen up again. This is al Qaeda plus. I put in the book that they need to be defeated. And I hope we do [defeat them].”

After spending six years largely out of the limelight, former President George W. Bush is making the rounds to promote his new book, "41," an affectionate biography of his father. Along the way, he's opened up to major networks and newspapers, offering surprisingly candid thoughts on his brother Jeb, his father grief over the second term he never had, and his advice to President Obama after the crushing Democratic defeat of last Tuesday's midterm.
