...President had not allowed General Tommy Franks to "cut and run"-that is, to close his headquarters and begin drawing down the U.S. military presence on May 1, 2003, the very same day as Bush's first cockpit stunt-the U.S. forces might have had a better chance to contain the insurgency. But those are complicated arguments to make in a political campaign. And even the wildest accusations, like Rove's disgraceful Murtha gambit, will force a candidate onto the defensive...

The suit is back in front of Judge Sweet, in New York City, for another round.

It's a beautiful day for an alfresco interview, but workers are building the set for Mother Courage and Her Children (which Streep will star in this summer), and the noise from the electric saw sends us into the dressing rooms, which contain but one tired old folding chair. Streep promptly plunks herself on the floor. "I'll sit in my usual position--at the press's feet," she jokes. After a chair is found, Streep sits and asks what we're talking about...
