Many Republicans had been arguing for years that carbon dioxide was not a pollutant, and they were bound to oppose any effort to regulate it, as was much of the utility industry. However, a mandatory cap on carbon dioxide emissions was listed as one of the Bush campaign's promises in the thick notebook titled "Transition 2001," the official compendium of the President's campaign promises, which I was given when I was nominated for the EPA position...

Standout running back Corey Dillon took a $1.55 million pay cut to play for the Patriots this year and quarterback Tom Brady has settled for far less than other hotshots like Peyton Manning to keep the Patriots under the salary cap. A wide variety of receivers gives Brady plenty of options—though Deion Branch’s 60-yard touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers forces him to stand-out—and Adam Vinateri lives to kick clutch field goals.
