Michael Scherer, who has been on the McCain bus and plane for 17 months now, gets inside McCain's tight-knit campaign team, led by two unique personalities: the strategist Steve Schmidt and McCain's alter ego and chief speechwriter, Mark Salter. And Mark Halperin tracked McCain's path to nomination for The Page...
Eurostat researchers caution that their projections are a "what if" scenario and do not take into account future changes in immigration policy or fertility rates that could alter the outcome.

But it's the Hong Kong veterans who are entrusted with Mummy III's real action, physically and dramatically...
...need to take this seriously." He's trying to behave; he even turns down a proposition from a gorgeous waitress. And he's feeling old. (Hamm wears Don's manly rigidity like a suit of armor; he's Clark Kent, hiding not a super but a lesser alter...
