...experienced the truth in religion because it's changed my life, and I don't need to know a variety of other things because I know what's true for me," argues Charles Kimball, a Baptist minister and professor of religion at Wake Forest University. In other words, the approach of a Christian in Bible study searching for the small inarguable nugget of scriptural truth that will enable him to understand God's love for him, ignore all distractions and stay sober, may not be the best one for deciding what to do next in Iraq...

The former altar boy says he wore a rosary into battle in Vietnam but went through a period of agnosticism and anger upon his return, finding his way back to his faith after "a lot of reading and a lot of thinking."

But that approach appeared to change last May, when al-Qaeda launched its current campaign of terror inside the Kingdom. Today that campaign targets...
Another pillar of Reagan's approach was to get government out of the way of growing businesses. Deregulation had started tentatively under Carter with the airlines, but Reagan applied it broadly, to energy and broadcasting and butressed it with a dismantling of antitrust laws. Reagan was a staunch free-trader and did little to stop the onslaught against sluggish American corporations from aggressive Japanese manufacturers. Reagan's term coincided with the height of Japan's economic boom, and his instinct was that in the long run, it would be better to let most companies fend for themselves...
