...Secretary of Stature setting a course for the 21st century may mistake the nature of the man. Maybe it is unreasonable to expect something else from the ultimate staff guy, the good soldier who punched four stars in 35 years in an organization that rewards loyalty and prizes the chain of command--just like his boss. In today's messy world, maybe doing nothing stupid is the only doable agenda. Powell, surely, sees himself as a man who is worth more than history's appreciative footnotes.

A spokesman for the Macedonian government said it would accept...
...weaken the hull badly enough to pose a risk to raising the whole submarine. Also, this hole is the only "silent witness" of what happened. Making the cut through it will destroy whatever forensic evidence there is. Anyway, trying to cut the eight meter wide hull with a chain is ridiculous nonsense...
