After winning Illinois, Romney turns attention back to Obama CNN.com March 21 Quoted: David Gergen, Center for Public Leadership Topic: GOP primary in Illinois Mitt Romney regained his aura of the inevitable Republican presidential nominee on Tuesday with a solid win in Illinois' primary. "One has a sense, that perhaps this is the final time that we'll look back and say this was the big turning point after a lot of twists and turns," CNN Senior Political Analyst David Gergen said. "I think what we may be seeing now is the beginning of the end. Not the end."

"When I first met with Imran Khan he reminded me of all the qualities of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan," Mr Ibrahim added....

I think it’s one thing to understand the historic context between the Israeli and Palestinian people,” said Sushma S. Sheth, a trip member and a student at the Harvard Kennedy School. “But it’s another thing to wrap your head around the application.”... While saying the probability of their detainment should have been low, trek organizer and Kennedy School student Ali H. O. Abu Kumbail said the region is volatile. |
