Density functional studies of 26 K superconducting LaFeAs(O,F) are reported. We find a low carrier density, high density of states, N(E{sub F}), and modest phonon frequencies relative to T{sub c}. The high N(E{sub F}) leads to proximity to itinerant magnetism, with competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic fluctuations and the balance between these controlled by the doping level. Thus LaFeAs(O,F) is in a unique class of high T{sub c} superconductors: high N(E{sub F}) ionic metals near magnetism.
