...vote, and currently boasts job-approval ratings among Texans that top 80%. His success at co-opting traditional Democratic issues such as education--and boosting from 37% to 65% the number of black and Hispanic students passing key statewide tests--has helped lure women and minorities to his camp. And, in a party often at war with itself, his charm has kept social conservatives from deserting him without alienating moderates--and vice versa. No wonder Bush has victory-starved Republicans salivating. "This is being driven by a pervasive terror in the ranks of Republicans," concedes one of his outside advisers...

"We shall say we are satisfied when whoever is responsible for what happened is found guilty and punished," said Italian Prime Minister Massimo D'Alema.

And speaking of Paleolithic predators, wouldn't it be at least unwise for the guys to go off hunting, leaving the supposedly weak and dependent women and children to fend for themselves at base camp? Odd too, that Paleolithic culture should look so much like the culture of Levittown circa 1955, with the gals waiting at home for the guys to come back with the bacon. In what other carnivorous species is only one sex an actual predator...
