...does Bush chose to take the O'Connor seat? Conservatives are taking aim once more at Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who they believe might be too moderate. If Bush picks a woman, there's Judge Edith Clement of New Orleans who lost her home in Hurricane Katrina. Bush passed her over last time but her being a storm victim might now give her a certain elan. Priscilla Owen or Edith Jones, both circuit court judges, would please conservatives but would rally Democrats. One White House official says that there's close scrutiny of Larry Thompson, who served as Number...
...Bush would make a much more conservative second pick, tapping someone like appeals court Judges J. Michael Luttig or J. Harvie Wilkinson III, who have long been darlings of the conservative bar. But Bush's weaker political standing may nudge him another way now, toward someone like Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, former Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson, an African American or a woman like appellate court Judge Edith Clement...
...artists with old, mixes its media and otherwise turns the Pompidou collection on its head. Take, for example, the first room, devoted to the subtheme "disillusioned body," catalog-speak for the deconstruction of the human form. Here Willem de Kooning's grotesque 1972 sculpture The Clamdigger is accompanied by Alberto Giacometti's spare Standing Woman II (1959-60), Pablo Picasso's contorted Women Before the Sea (1956) and Francis Bacon's bizarre 1964 triptych Three Figures in a Room?all demonstrating just how discombobulated a body can be.

El otro es el primog?nito de una rica y poderosa dinast?a pol?tica. Pero Alberto Gonz?les y George W. Bush se han unido en el esfuerzo por edificar un poder ejecutivo mucho m?s fuerte. Persuadido por el aquel entonces gobernador Bush, Gonz?les dej? su lucrativa pr?ctica de leyes en Houston y se convirti? en su abogado principal en 1994. M?s tarde, Bush coloc? a Gonz?les en la corte suprema de Texas y cuando Bush lleg? a la presidencia...
...surface, they seem an odd couple. one, the son of migrant workers, grew up in a house without hot water or a telephone. The other is the scion of a rich and powerful political dynasty. But Alberto Gonzales and George W. Bush have joined in a largely successful effort to build a more muscular executive branch. Drawn to the quiet lawyer's up-by-his-bootstraps story, then-Governor Bush persuaded Gonzales to leave his lucrative law practice in Houston and become his general counsel in 1994. Bush later put Gonzales on the Texas Supreme Court, and when Bush moved...
