• Fair Elections: ; Monitors Helping U.S.

GLOBAL Exchange is an international human rights group that does many good works, including monitoring elections in countries where fair balloting is not a sure thing. This year, the San Francisco- based nonprofit organization is bringing observers here to America. Ouch.

Even the least-arrogant American can feel the bruising of the national ego.

The nativist arguments of the Minutemen and others displace anxiety about declining economic opportunities onto the very low-wage workers whose rights in the workplace must be secured if all working people a...
