Police in Watertown - Reuters

Boston, from afar: Will someone please explain my America to me?

Obama's helicopter flying over Petra.

Israel, after Obama: This year, for Passover, I'm burning my cynicism

U.S. President Barack Obama speaks during an official welcoming ceremony at Ben Gurion

Obama, in key speech, to target Israelis who could make or break a future peace

Sally Field and Daniel Day-Lewis appear in a scene from "Lincoln."
