...seven days a week at 11 a.m. (he usually gets there at 10:30), Archbold walks over to Franklin Court, where Franklin's house once stood and a museum now does, sits on a bench under a mulberry tree as Franklin did and talks to people. Especially the womenfolk. This morning he uses the classic "If you ladies have any questions, the answer is yes." Being Franklin is a whole lot more fun than being John Adams...
...court, what Rehnquist has built could be torn down over time, but it would not be a day's work. "His doctrines are quite entrenched," says Chicago law professor Cass Sunstein, "both because the court respects its own precedents and because there aren't any liberals on the bench. There are moderates, but nobody is leading a countercharge." If anything, it's more likely--particularly if Bush is re-elected--that a conservative will also replace liberal John Paul Stevens, 83.

She walked into the downtown Manhattan courtroom to be charged, as her daughter Alexis, 37, waited quietly on a bench in the back. The nine-count indictment alleges that Stewart altered evidence that she traded on inside information about the biotech company ImClone Systems, conspired with her stockbroker to lie to federal officials investigating the trade and defrauded shareholders in her company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, by misleading them about...
...least it has convictions. Whereas when MSNBC slapped the flag onscreen and CNN hired Connie Chung for a shot of Fox-y tabloidism, it looked like the insincere opportunism that it was. Ironically, CNN brands itself the "most trusted name in news," and it has a deeper news bench than Fox. But CNN isn't the most watched name in news, perhaps because its definition of trust--"trust us to get accurate scoops"--is not the public's only priority...
