NEXT FOUR YEARS

With his first term behind him, Obama is poised to be as significant a president as Reagan—tackling the deficit, spearheading immigration reform, and jolting the GOP back to sanity, writes Andrew Sullivan in Newsweek.

TECH

A major supplier to Apple and other international tech companies closed one of its plants Monday after a riot. The fracas at the Foxconn facility started with a scuffle between workers and security at the tightly regulated plant, ultimately involving upwards of 1,000 workers, according to a Foxconn employee—just a fraction of the plant’s 79,000-member workforce. According to official Chinese media, 5,000 police officers were brought in to put down the riot. Foxconn, which employs more than 1 million Chinese workers, plays an important part in the production of many tech gadgets, including Apple products like the iPhone 5.

POLL

Mitt Romney holds a 14 percent lead among America’s middle-class families, according to a new poll conducted by Politico and George Washington University. According to the poll, Romney has a 55 percent–to–41 percent lead over President Obama. Sixty-two percent of middle-class families are likely to believe that the country is headed in the wrong direction as Election Day nears, and they are slightly more likely to dislike the job Obama has been doing. The two candidates are fighting hard to win middle-class voters in their campaigns, with Romney suffering what many considered a setback after the leak of a controversial video last week in which he described half of Americans as “moochers”—although these latest numbers may prove to be a different story.

SCIENCE

Scientists have broken down breast cancer into four distinct types in a landmark study that could lead to new approaches to treating the disease in a new study published Monday. The study, part of a large federal project known as the Cancer Genome Atlas, represents the first time researchers have broken down the genetics of a disease that kills tens of thousands of women a year. “This is the road map for how we might cure breast cancer in the future,” said researcher Dr. Matthew Ellis. But researchers are still cautions: although they indicated that the study will have direct implications for women who suffer from breast cancer, translating the findings into treatments may take time.
