...president Bush is directly coordinating the activities of SBVT, it's unfair to keep complaining about who is behind the ads. Since Bush can't prove that the lies and distortions of MoveOn.org and Michael Moore emanated from or are coordinated by Kerry's supporters, the President doesn't bother whining to Americans. Peter Guardino New York City If the veterans involved in SBVT were either swift or truthful, they would have challenged Kerry's military medals 35 years ago, when they were awarded. John DeBoer Sequim, Washington, U.S. I am appalled that Americans are listening to the SBVT...
...come as a bit of a surprise (or not at all) that when Bush rolled out the new central plank in his platform at the Republican National Convention this month—a revamping of the entire federal tax code—he didn’t bother to fill anyone in on the details. It’s too messy. Too inefficient. There are too many corporate loopholes. All true. Trouble is: what does he intend to do about it? Trust us, he said. Re-elect us, and we’ll take care...
...telephone carriers, who proved once already that they weren't swift enough to react when they ignored the challenge of cell phones. Before Vonage, telecom giants like MCI, Verizon and AT&T dismissed the technology for broadband phone service as too buggy and too complicated to bother selling.

Over at the Aquatic Center there were no Chinese contenders in swimming. And no roof. The steaming Grecian sun that felt warm enough to boil water didn't seem to bother U.S. phenom Michael Phelps, who raised the temperature a few more degrees by winning his first Olympic gold in the 400-m individual medley in world-record time. It was the first gold for the U.S., and as impressively stoic as Phelps has been in pursuing Mark Spitz's cache of seven of them, the weight of the first medal brought on his own waterworks. "There were definitely tears...
...Lifestyle system is aimed at an upscale crowd of music lovers who don't want to bother with computer-based music jukeboxes like iTunes or RealPlayer. It makes sense, since a home stereo system typically delivers better sound quality than most PC setups. The system's individual components are impressive: in addition to storing 340 hours of music, it has a DVD player, luxurious surround sound and Bose's tiny JewelCube speakers. A $2,999 version, the Lifestyle 38, comes with larger speakers and a smaller drive that holds 200 hours of music...
