...relationship between Bush and Dick Cheney, the most influential Vice President in memory and a prime architect of the country's war against terrorism. The team has lots to take credit for this year, but many would argue that some of its most important goals--the capture of Osama bin Laden, the removal of Saddam Hussein, progress in halting the war between the Israelis and the Palestinians, the revival of a sick economy and investor confidence--remain unmet. Nancy Gibbs incisively profiles their partnership, while James Carney looks at what made Cheney, a two-time dropout from Yale, the second...
...could say that pop culture was the one American institution that whipped terrorism. Osama bin Laden would have liked little better than to subdue America's entertainment-media machine. That thong-wearing, freedom-flaunting international corrupter of values inflames his followers as painfully as any military base in Saudi Arabia, and there is no irony in Osama's Islam.

The Fellowship can be seen as Western democracies now besieged by the lunatic faction of Islamic fundamentalism. (Saruman, as played by the tall, lean, bearded Lee, looks eerily like Osama bin Laden.) The enemy's power seems overwhelming, untouchable; its ruthlessness makes strong nations shiver. "So much death," King Theoden says. "What can men do against such reckless hate?" Aragorn replies, "Ride out to meet them...
