...latest poll gives some indication of what Bush faces: 49% of respondents said they disapprove of the President's handling of Social Security, while only 40% said they approve. And that's before Bush has even put forward the details of his plan. Nonetheless, the President has begun his assault--personally and through a cadre of emissaries from Vice President Dick Cheney to Treasury Secretary John Snow--labeling Social Security a "crisis" that must be fixed. "First step," Bush told TIME last month, "is to make sure everybody understands we have a problem." The President last week surrounded himself with...
CONVICTED. CHARLES GRANER, 36, Army Reserve specialist and reputed ringleader of a group of abusive guards at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison; on all five charges of assault, conspiracy, maltreatment of detainees, committing indecent acts and dereliction of duty; in the first trial arising from the international scandal that broke with the release of photos showing U.S. soldiers gleefully torturing prisoners; in Fort Hood, Texas. Jurors rejected the defense's claim that Graner was just following orders and sentenced him to 10 years in prison with a demotion to private...
...Assault on Precinct 13 is Jean-Fran??ois Richet's remake of the action thriller that John Carpenter made for $100,000 in 1976.

It's your basic claustrophobic nightmare, which theater and cinema have astutely exploited--from Sartre's No Exit and nearly any Pinter play or Roman Polanski movie to the old cliff-hanger serials, where the four walls of a cell would close...
Months before the assault, Jake Roenick (Ethan Hawke) led a botched sting operation that resulted in the deaths of some of his team. Now he is steeped in fear and failure; he has the fretful eyes of a dog awaiting its master's familiar kick. So he can't be surprised when two things go wrong in sleepy Precinct 13. First, a batch of criminals arrives, including assassin Marion Bishop (Laurence Fishburne). Then all hell breaks loose outside and tries to break in, presumably to spirit Bishop out of custody...
...assault on Fallujah last November was to have been a model of military action to prepare the way for voting in cities with a strong insurgent presence, its results have been questionable. Only about 8,500 of the city's estimated 250,000 residents have returned to their homes in the rubble of Fallujah, and the military operation has left many Fallujans even more hostile towards the U.S. and its allies...
