...last time Gates faced a confirmation hearing, he took his son Brad to the Blue Ridge Mountains for a weekend of camping. He said later that was "better preparation for the battle that was about to begin" than anything else he could have done. But the battles he faces now are more likely to be with his new bosses at the White House--and perhaps with his own instincts. The Bush team has only a limited amount of time to decide what to do about Iraq. Sooner rather than later, Bob Gates will cease being all things to all people...
...test a protease inhibitor. Even in the brief span of her lifetime, Daniels has watched pediatric-AIDS treatments improve significantly. When she was an infant, her adoptive mother Maryann had to wake her up at 4 a.m. to administer the first of four daily doses.

The Chavez-aligned party Fatherhood for All recently demanded the Supreme Court prohibit Rosales' campaign from using the color blue, arguing they had already claimed it. The court rejected the appeal. Not even Venezuela's biggest sports rivalry - a match-up between the Caracas and Valencia baseball teams - could compete with the country's political duel. A packed game in Caracas earlier this month erupted with rallying cries from Rosales supporters and retorts from chavista baseball fans when the opposition candidate appeared in the stands. So loud was the political disturbance...
