...Bush made clear from the outset that he's going to build a missile shield regardless, which left the Europeans no room to imagine that Washington could be dissuaded. Of course, the acid test of that position will come in Russia's response, but Bush's approach appears to have worked with the Europeans. They're now resigned to the U.S. building it, and if at Wednesday's meeting with NATO leaders the key European players didn't exactly embrace Bush's concept, they at least began talking about the need for a new strategic framework to confront new threats...
...Freshman year, most of my friends were proud users of soft drugs. That fall I decided to comp for the Lampoon as the result of a chance encounter with a celebrated Lampoon genius mid-acid-trip—his, not mine.

...study--financed by the tea industry--volunteers swished either black tea or lukewarm water in their mouth. An analysis of their saliva showed that tea inhibits the growth of tooth-decaying bacteria and reduces their tendency to form sticky clumps.

In previous clinical trials, green tea was shown to prevent cavities, and these new findings lead researchers to suspect that black tea will too--as long as it's not sweetened with sugar or honey...
...Gianfranco Fini, whose post-fascist National Alliance took 12% of the vote, was immediately promised a deputy prime minister's post. But Fini is now a moderate conservative who has severed ties with the party's pro-Mussolini roots. The neighbors' real worry during the campaign was Umberto Bossi, acid-tongued leader of the anti-immigrant Northern League, who has called the E.U. the "Soviet Union of the West" and once branded Brussels bureaucrats "Nazi pedophiles." Though Bossi had toppled Berlusconi's last government by withdrawing his support in 1994, he again joined Il Cavaliere's center-right electoral coalition...
