...course, the next U.S. President will pick up some easy tricks in Europe simply by not being Bush. Diplomats on both sides of the Atlantic say relations have reverted to a more workmanlike calm from the storms that gathered over the preparations for the Iraq war. The Transatlantic Trends survey shows many areas where public opinion on both sides is united, including a surprising willingness to take military action against Iran if diplomacy fails to stop its nuclear program (53% in the U.S., 45% in Europe). More than 70% on both sides of the Atlantic rate terrorism, global warming, Islamic...
...space exudes Zen calm, reflecting the couple's Japanese heritage and their recently redesigned home. The garage floors are finished in stain-resistant granite, a wall system holds baskets and shelves, there's brushed-aluminum cabinetry--and Cardenas' prized wines are organized in a 2,000-bottle room. "I had so much stuff that I couldn't get in or out," he says. "Now I can navigate the place without killing myself." How many homeowners can make that claim...
...polls keep suggesting that Republicans could be in for a historic drubbing. And their usual advantage--competence on national security--is constantly being challenged by new revelations about bungling in Iraq. But top Republican officials maintain an eerie, Zen-like calm.

Ordinarily calm, even-handed, and intellectually honest, Fox was thrust unwittingly into the unfamiliar realm of the angry political diatribe when a guest lost his calm and flaunted his nasty, baseless feelings before the entire nation. Who was this guest who so compromised Fox’s reputation for candid honesty and unfaltering...
...leading some to worry about a bubble economy, especially in real estate. "Some people think they have discovered the never-ending hockey stick," frets Erkki Raasuke, 35, chief executive of Hansabank, the country's biggest bank. Estonia's current torrid growth took him by surprise; he thought it would calm down once the country joined the E.U. in May 2004. Instead, it has accelerated, from an annual rate of 7.1% in 2003, to 8.1% in 2004 and 10.5% in 2005, according to revised figures published by the national statistics office last month. "If we keep going like this," Raasuke worries...
