...short-tempered and, say their critics, sometimes authoritarian. And both have had to wait their turn to assume power. Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform, a London-based think tank, says Sarkozy, Brown and German Chancellor Angela Merkel could create a dynamic team at Europe's core. All three, he says, "are Atlanticist, economically liberal--more or less--and take a pragmatic rather than ideological approach to the European Union and its institutions...
...super-duper nova, dubbed SN 2006gy, was set apart from the more common variety by what happened in the center of the star as it was dying. Typically, a massive star exhausts the elemental fuel in its core and begins to collapse inward. The outer layers blow off in a huge flare we recognize as a supernova while the core becomes more and more compressed, eventually forming the infinitely dense node that is a black hole. In SN 2006gy, the sheer mass of the star produced so much core heat and gamma-ray radiation that it created matter and antimatter...

And they believe that the Republican party is, at its core, pro-life - no matter how many "big tent" speeches delegates have endured at recent G.O.P. conventions...
...Thursday morning, on the Senate floor, Tennessee Republican Lamar Alexander delivered a speech in which he promised to introduce legislation in a few weeks that would more or less make the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group proposals of last December (which emphasized the training of Iraqi forces at the core of the U.S. military mission in Iraq) as "the basis for future U.S. strategy in Iraq." Alexander's measure is not a resolution; if passed, it would go to the President's desk for his signature - or veto...
