Cain Adds to ?9-9-9? Plan, Angering Unions

Taking aim at minimum wage laws, union protections, and even local building codes, Herman Cain has put the finishing touches on the last missing piece of his signature ?9-9-9? plan ? an elaborate proposal to create ?opportunity zones? in inner-city America that the GOP presidential candidate will unveil during a major campaign appearance in Detroit on Friday morning.

A Quaint, Compelling 'Pilgrim' Tale In The New World

The year is 1622, and a tormented English Puritan strikes out for the Plymouth Plantation in Hugh Nissenson's moody, intelligent novel. Critic Maureen Corrigan says The Pilgrim is a work of straightforward historical fiction ? of the sort that you don't see so much anymore.

Democrats had made huge strides in the 2006 and 2008 elections, holding both houses of Congress and the presidency, as well as a majority of governor’s mansions.
