...there is no need to change his basic formulation--which is to seek help from the U.N. and the international community--especially since the President is moving willy-nilly to adopt it. Which leads to the third reason: The Bush policy on Iraq seems to be changing drastically, and cautious Kerry may be waiting to see where it stands come Labor Day before he revises his response...
Familiarity breeds incumbency. A cautious electorate likes stability. Since 1949, there have been only four changes of government - in '72, '75, '83 and '96. Three-year electoral terms are, in practice, even shorter, as the P.M. can call a poll whenever he likes; on average, since 1972, Parliaments have run out of puff seven months early.

East Timor is pressing for a maritime boundary in the Timor Sea that is equidistant...
Other scientists are more cautious. Zaven Khachaturian of the Alzheimer's Association warns that large-scale human studies will be necessary to determine just how effective curcumin is, what the appropriate dose should be and whether there are any side effects. But if the studies pan out, curcumin could join a growing list of spices with known or suspected medicinal properties...
