...like the scent of grandma's wisteria. Trendy advertisers, for example, still eschew Saga Magazine, despite its impressive circulation. Although the monthly runs features on still-cool celebs like Carly Simon and Mick Jagger, it's crammed with ads for retirement properties and orthopedically therapeutic furniture. In order to combat that perception, Saga is planning a brand overhaul designed by ad agency Doner Cardwell Hawkins. "It will stress our core strengths to a new generation," says Bull, but beyond that, no one at Saga will talk about the campaign until it kicks off later this year...
...four years ago, and Obama gets into some trouble when he tries to differentiate himself from his opponents on the war now. He says he has the "most specific" plan to end the war, but it is specific only at the back end: he would have all the combat troops out of Iraq by March 31, 2008. He professes not to know where Clinton stands on how to end the war, and yet less than a year ago, they voted for exactly the same Iraq resolution, a phased withdrawal without a fixed timetable.

...Your important story about the illegal settlement outpost of Migron, in the West Bank, erroneously referred to Peace Now as a "pacifist group." The organization was established in 1978 by 348 senior Israeli officers and combat soldiers to urge their government to sign a peace treaty with Egypt. Peace Now has supported some Israeli military measures, including Israel's military response to Hizballah gunmen who crossed from Lebanon into Israel to kidnap two soldiers in the summer of 2006. Our objection to the construction and expansion of Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories does not stem from a pacifist philosophy...
...Just what form the next measures will take remains uncertain, but a variety of fencing mechanisms are already under discussion. House appropriators are contemplating tying funds for the surge to the readiness of combat and support units back home that would deploy as part of the operation. There is growing evidence - and growing concern - that U.S. forces preparing to ship out are not sufficiently trained and equipped when they arrive in Iraq. There is also widening discussion among House Democrats of tying funds for the surge to more concrete benchmarks of action toward political reconciliation and military cooperation...
