...proposed Cabinet contains several luminaries. Gen. Colin L. Powell as Secretary of State, Donald Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defense, and Paul O'Neill as Treasury Secretary--all under the watchful eye of Vice President Dick Cheney--should serve the nation well, bringing years of experience in federal administration. Condoleezza Rice also seems a promising candidate for national security advisor...
What was president-elect George W. Bush thinking when he selected John Ashcroft as his nominee for Attorney General? That since he was designating three superbly qualified African Americans for high-level positions--Secretary of State Colin Powell, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of Education Rod Paige--blacks would somehow overlook Ashcroft's horrendous record on race?

...Powell. Sunday, Bush is due to tap Condoleezza Rice for NSC adviser and name most of his White House staff, and by the time he heads to Washington on Monday he'll have only drawn raves for surprising no one at all with his picks so far. The final piece of the foreign policy puzzle: defense secretary, for which the top two names are Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge and former senator Dan Coats. It's already sparked the first "reasonable men can disagree" fight of the Bush administration, with Cheney pulling for Coats and Powell urging Ridge, the pro-choicer...
