Among the Republicans, it's Bush who works hard at not wanting it. All year his signature stance has been take me or leave me, but that's easy to say when you have a 40-point lead. Last week, with that lead thinning in New Hampshire, he pretended to regret blowing off a G.O.P. candidates' forum, but no one believed him. The other candidates are getting the message. At the forum, when Steve Forbes made his pitch for votes, he said, "I would beg you." Then he corrected himself: "I ask for your support...
...believes it represents the prototypical 21st century conflict, in which a grinding, persistent battle plan trumps a short, intense war. "The bombing isn't hurting us, and it is hurting Saddam," he says.

Much of this wilderness is so huge and empty and emphatically inhospitable that it is difficult to picture its ever succumbing to the crush of civilization. But the same could have been said of the Grand Canyon in 1869, when John Wesley Powell braved murderous rapids and myriad other hazards to become the first man to navigate the Colorado River...
