November 9 Obama's Second Term, What Would Wilson Do? With Steven Spielberg's film "Lincoln" hitting theaters, there's a lot of hype about what our next president — now that we know who he is — can learn from Honest Abe about running and healing a politically divided country. But as Barack Obama heads into his second term, there's another president who may have just as much relevance as a role model: Woodrow Wilson. On The Homepage China's New Leadership: Opportunity for the United States? China's next president and premier will be appointed within days but many questions remain about the transition as members of the Communist Party of China gather for the 18th National Party Congress.

Op-ed | Thoughts on Strategy from a Career Ambassador Negotiating with Iran CONTEXT Q&A Iran's nuclear program continues to move forward. Israel and the United States have declared a nuclear Iran unacceptable. The P5+1 negotiations have stalled while sanctions appear to be taking a toll on the Islamic Republic's economy. Is a diplomatic solution possible or is a military confrontation inevitable? To answer this question, we spoke with two veteran Iran experts. Part 1: Switzerland's Protecting Power Mandate Swiss Ambassador to the Islamic Republic Livia Leu Agosti offered her insight on Switzerland's role as "protective power" of the US in Iran. She has served as the diplomatic liaison between the countries since 2009. Part 2: A Matter of Trust John Limbert, former deputy assistant Secretary of State for Iran and one of the 52 Americans held hostage for 444 days from November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981, shares his unique perspective on US-Iran relations.
