...Spokesperson Colin Riley declined comment on what the school would plan to use the land for, but confirmed that BU has a strong interest in buying the property...
...Even Secretary of State Colin Powell, long the standard-bearer of exhaustive diplomacy on Iraq, appeared late last week to have fallen in step with the hawks' timeline, despite having argued only two weeks ago that the inspectors needed a lot more time.

Instead, Bush had warned shortly after taking office that North Korea could not be trusted to keep its agreements - and that, of course, has been proved true. But U.S. allies have strenuously warned Washington against piling new pressure on North Korea, which may well be the only regime left willing to raise...
