President George W. Bush is hoping he is being underestimated one last time. Promising that his Republicans will hold both the House and the Senate on Tuesday, the President used Air Force One to hopscotch the Sun Belt and Midwest as he closed out a campaign that could determine whether he spends the next two years on offense or defense. In Nebraska on Sunday, Bush grabbed one of the yellow, corncob-shaped hats worn by supporters and held it up for the cameras, delighting a packed rodeo arena decked with "Victory in the Heartland" signs along with hay bales, corn...
...like a detective at a crime scene. "You try to redraw the landscape," he writes. "You try to draw in trench lines ... and khaki bundles hung up on barbed wire." Near Ypres, he watched archaeologists probe the spot where a man's bones had been found. They unearthed a belt buckle, bullet casings, bits of leather. The unknown soldier kept coming into Carlyon's mind for weeks. "What was he doing when the shell hit?" he writes. "Who wept for him?" Near Pozi?res, whose capture in 1916 cost 8,000 Australian lives, Carlyon stood on a height known...
...that ends up playing a lot more than two guys, then that’s the way it is. If we feel like both guys are going real well, then there will be two guys.” Tobe has the most ice time under his belt for the Crimson, with four starts in eight games last season for 309:24 minutes.

Rather than ring-seeking hobgoblins and hobbits, No. 2-about an ageing Fijian matriarch's gathering of the clan to name her successor-is filled with her kava-swigging, tree-chainsawing, pig-slaughtering grandchildren, who surf a volcano of emotions over one night...
...Climbing in the backseat, the men pinned him down with their feet and beat him in the torso with the butts of their guns. When he tried to speak, he got a sharp jab in the ribs. His captors emptied his pockets and took his cheap wristwatch and his belt and shoes. As the car sped away, one man put a hood over Waddah's head and, using a plastic tie, bound his wrists behind his back. All that happened in a few moments, and Waddah says he could only think, "This is a mistake--they think I'm somebody...
