...delay does not yet mean war can be avoided. Bush has been at this pass before, notably last autumn when sharp international and domestic criticism threatened to derail his drive for regime change in Iraq almost before it began. Yet he maneuvered adroitly around and over the obstacles to advance his cause by pushing a tough inspection resolution through the U.N. The coming days will continue to work for and against him. But whatever the behavior of nations outside Iraq--and barring a change of behavior or a stroke of luck inside Iraq--it seems unlikely that Bush's game...

Recession or not, the growth figure is well down from Economy and Labor Minister Wolfgang Clement's forecast last autumn of 1.5%. Even the good news has a hitch.

...clear days we’ve had this rainy autumn, I walked down Brattle Street to Mount Auburn Cemetery and wandered through acres furrowed with headstones and eroding statues. The sky was that distant hard blue you see only in the fall, and sunlight filled the laps of all the seated weeping angels. In that clear cool silence, everything I saw seemed charged with profound meaning; the wasps that, drowsy in the chill, buzzed through the fretted door of a crypt nauseated me.
