Then there's the audio-video setup I like to call our car theater. With a TV and VCR perched above the roomy passenger area, the stage is set to keep our crew merrily mesmerized for hours. It's rare that you can pick up a decent TV signal in a moving vehicle, but videos look as clear as they do at home. That's probably a good thing, since we're necessarily in full control of what they watch. We supplement a small library of store-bought videos (including a few never-before-seen titles to ensure maximum attention...
...fall, Rove was in steady contact with operatives in key states, asking veterans whom to call, whom to meet, how to make approaches and what they were hearing.

But it is impossible to call John Paul II anything other than a conservative. He does not take to new currents in Catholicism, and has displayed a ready pen for excommunication.
