More on Mandela; Guardian: obama won't last term

LINTHICUM, Maryland, June 10, 2013- News reports out of South Africa say that Nelson Mandela's health was unchanged overnight, and that his overall condition, while described as stable, was also called serious.  Most vexing for the 94-year-old statesman and peacemaker was an on-going lung infection, complicated by years of struggling with chronic tuberculosis.  Mr. Mandela contracted that disease during years of imprisonment by his country's former apartheid regime.  Family members went to his bedside in the hospital in Pretoria, South Africa....In London, a column in The Guardian questioned whether Obama would last his term after his latest scandal blossomed into a full-fledged governmental crisis.  A former CIA computer analyst, now employed by a top defense contractor, with top secret clearance, quit and charged that obama's "Prism" program was so intrusive that all personal privacy was at risk.
