Think you pay too much for cell phone service? President Obama’s reelection campaign spent $143,862 last year just on text messages. Obama’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee — even without a Republican nominee in place yet — spent twice as much money as all the GOP candidates combined in 2011. It is all part of the president’s expanding effort to mobilize supporters and start building the massive infrastructure for a successful reelection campaign. Read full article > >

KEENE, N.H. This is not, in all likelihood, Jon Huntsman’s break-out moment . Even if the former Utah governor manages to exceed expectations — which would amount to coming in second to Mitt Romney in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary — his path ahead is unclear. Huntsman has invested months and months of slogging from house party to diner to town hall meeting in this state, but he has little in the way of infrastructure to propel him in South Carolina and beyond.

We need to take parking lots more seriously, architecturally, and to think of them as public spaces, as part of the infrastructure of our streets and sidewalks.

For 40 years, art enthusiasts admired a 7-foot-tall modern bronze sculpture in a leafy park in south London close to a boating lake. But it seems others had their eyes on it, too. “ Two Forms (Divided Circle) ,” by the well-known British sculptor Barbara Hepworth , was stolen last week, and the widespread speculation here is that it will be melted down for cash.

NEW DELHI — India’s government on Wednesday suspended its plans to throw open its huge retail sector to foreign companies such as Wal-Mart in a decision seen as a major capitulation to political opponents that further weakens the administration. The initial decision last month to allow foreign companies to own 51 percent of supermarkets in major cities and 100 percent of single-brand stores was hailed by the business community as a long overdue reform. The government and some economists said foreign retailers would bring better prices for farmers and lower prices for consumers by cutting out middlemen and upgrading the country’s infrastructure.

SAO PAULO — It’s called the Big Worm — a 2.2 mile-long elevated highway that wiggles through the center of South America’s largest city , curving feet from bedroom windows of once-elegant art deco buildings and carrying 80,000 noisy cars through a wide swath of cityscape each day. Urban planners say that the 40-year-old concrete monster has no place in Sao Paulo and that flattening it should be on the city’s to-do list if this sprawling metropolis is to modernize. This city, Brazil’s economic heart, has to revamp the kind of out-of-date infrastructure embodied by the Worm, those planners say, if Brazil is to maintain the strong growth that has transformed the economy into one of the world’s most vibrant.
