...Bush and Putin's serious disagreements over trade and the pace of democratic reforms exist in the context of an adult relationship that transcends momentary spats. And they need each other. Putin needs Bush to help Russia get into the World Trade Organization and to support his efforts to contain Muslim radicals. Bush often praises Putin for his support in the war on terrorism and more specifically for his help containing Iran and North Korea...
Laura can't win over the Bush haters. But a comedy routine that was at times racy is a reminder that Laura is not a founding member of Focus on the Family. Whatever hard-core Democrats may imagine, she has never been a nodding Stepford wife. Her bookshelves contain Gore Vidal and The Da Vinci Code.

She told TIME last year that she had no problem with a gay couple staying at the White House, although...
...vision for an HCC is based on examples like these. An HCC should include three main components. First, they should contain a historical component to acquaint students with the contexts behind the ideas presented in the course.

...ocean, art, and poetry—to the point of rapture. Anything I thought was beautiful brought me to tears. I loved my family and friends so fiercely that I frequently prayed for their safety, for our continued happiness. Belief of some sort seemed the only concept that could contain the intensity of my feelings. I dismissed the idea of a God who created humans, but a God who came from the human spirit (an idea that my parents had introduced to me)—I liked that. God could be altruism, love, kindness, happiness. God could be what...
