When he succeeded Trent Lott as Republican leader in the Senate in December, Frist seemed the ideal replacement. Jetting to Africa often to perform surgeries, he was a contrast to Lott, whose racially insensitive remarks drove him from the leadership. With his Princeton-Harvard pedigree, youthful looks and daily running schedule, he was a perfect fit for the hyperathletic President, who portrays himself as a compassionate conservative...
...keep from getting it? Like other forms of hepatitis, it's an inflammation of the liver caused by a virus. The symptoms, which include fever, nausea, diarrhea, jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain and loss of appetite, usually clear up within a month or two. (Hepatitis B and C, by contrast, often cause chronic, incurable infections that can lead to cirrhosis and cancer of the liver.) Up to 200,000 Americans contract hepatitis A every year, often after eating shellfish taken from contaminated waters.

In marked contrast to his May 1 victory speech aboard the U.S.S. Lincoln, President Bush went to Baghdad to buoy the spirits of an army still very much at war. November was the bloodiest month for U.S. forces since invading Iraq, with 83 American soldiers, and a further 35 troops from coalition allies, having been killed over 30 days...
