...Connor says his staff was bitterly divided over the bill; there were tears and fights throughout this period. "But he was very, very steady," she says. Steinberg says, "I'm not saying it was easy for him; it was hard. But he knew that was the right thing to do." Dean won re-election by less than half a percentage point. He didn't run for a sixth term as Governor because he was planning a race for President. A good thing, since it would have been a difficult campaign. (The Democratic Lieutenant Governor, whom Dean endorsed, lost.) Civil unions...
...there's plenty of it. The picture, directed and co-written by Gregor Jordan from Robert O'Connor's novel, plays like a mini-series compacted into 95 minutes. It develops a severe case of character sprawl: a clueless colonel (Ed Harris) and a hard-nosed top sergeant (Scott Glenn) and their respective women (Elizabeth McGovern, Anna Paquin)--both of whom cozy up to Elwood--plus lots of troublesome MPs and outsiders who stand in Elwood's way as he plans the big score. What's worth savoring is Phoenix's performance, cool and alert, confiding only in the camera...
...download the Dean Techno Dance Mix of one of his speeches from dean2004.blogspot.com howarddean.tv offers Dean appearances delivered to your desktop. Then there is blogforamerica.com (blog is short for weblog), a candid daily journal updated by staffers from wherever Dean happens to be.

"It's amazing," gushes O'Connor. "I have a following...
...future world savior John Connor (Nick Stahl) is now a whiny teenager who needs help from his surly robot pal (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and a school chum (Claire Danes) to escape the machinations of blond killer cyborg T-X (Kristanna Loken). The Messiah metaphors that helped make the first Terminator a superior entertainment are now just the givens: boy and girl in peril, with one protector and one implacable pursuer. At its metallic heart, T3 is another chase movie--one figure relentlessly tracking three others, mostly in cars, at high speed through implausibly underpopulated Los Angeles streets...
...political implications of all this are, I suspect, good for both the Republic and George W. Bush. The Republic is always strengthened by a reassertion of sanity. These opinions were written by conservatives appointed to the court by Ronald Reagan. The words they used were striking. Sandra Day O'Connor said diversity is "essential to the dream of one nation" and to the "legitimacy" of our leadership class. Anthony Kennedy said homosexuals are entitled to "dignity" and "respect for their private lives." If nothing else, these decisions demonstrate the distance between social reality and the witless intemperance of the current...
