...time in the debate on the war in Iraq. The Senate is struggling to respond to popular discontent with President Bush's plan to send 21,500 more U.S. troops to Iraq. Democrats have introduced a resolution criticizing the plan and opposing the President outright. Senator John McCain of Arizona has proposed a countervailing resolution that tacitly backs the surge of troops. Neither captures the cautiously antisurge consensus that many Senators are seeking, which puts the spotlight on Warner, a former Secretary of the Navy and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, who has introduced a bipartisan resolution with...
...Steve Jobs and his team at apple would invent a little device that could clip to a soldier's belt and trip every electronic trigger for improvised explosive devices within a couple of hundred meters, then I would really be impressed. Dean M. Brayton Gold Canyon, Arizona...
...Semirodriki in the Soviet Union, is apparently hopelessly flawed and has done little significant work since being completed in 1974.

But Borra claims that his mercurial approach will make possible virtually flawless single mirrors at least five times as big as the one at Palomar and can do it simply and inexpensively...

The surprising news is that this week's Election Index puts former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani ahead of Arizona Senator John McCain, despite the latter's formidable organization and resources, for the top spot in the G.O.P.

"She's kind of a female Hubert Humphrey, a real happy warrior, only much tougher than Hubert," says Fred DuVal, a prominent Arizona Democratic fund raiser. Napolitano romped in her 2006 re-election campaign over Len Munsil, a religious conservative who campaigned against gay marriage and in favor of a punitive anti-immigration policy, both of which were profoundly out of step with public opinion. Arizona actually voted against a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in 2006--and in the two congressional districts where Democrats supplanted Republicans...
