...good whack. That's the most efficient way to make heads roll. But in keeping with the government's disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina, even removing the embattled director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is proving to be a tortured, drawn-out affair. Precisely one week after George W. Bush publicly commended FEMA's Michael Brown for "doing a heck of a job," Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff sent the deer-in-headlights leader back to Washington and put Coast Guard Vice Admiral Thad Allen in charge of relief efforts...
With a working knowledge of the superego, oral fixations and daddy complexes, MONICA LEWINSKY seems well equipped for her next endeavor. The world's most infamous intern will begin a master's program in social psychology at the London School of Economics next month.

But because of changing shipping laws, it will be easier than ever to get ciders by mail. And since most cider sells...
...Words In his column "Stop trying to spin the Iraq War" [July 25], Joe Klein wrote that the Rove-Plame-Wilson affair illuminated "a signature disgrace of the Bush presidency: its tendency to treat the war in Iraq as an issue to be spun, rather than a life-and-death struggle to be won." Klein should be applauded for reminding Americans that Bush's top priority is to protect and enhance his and his party's image. Nearly every issue is molded along political-party lines and spun. When will Americans finally stand up and demand that this Administration...
