...UNMOVIC chief Dr. Hans Blix and his counterpart for nuclear inspections, Dr. Mohammed al-Baradei gave the Security Council a mixed report: On the one hand, Iraq's declaration was unacceptable because it had failed to account for known chemical weapons stocks; on the other, Iraq has not impeded the inspection process and the inspectors have turned up no clear evidence of continued prohibited weapons programs. Al-Baradei even put the kibosh on at least one specific charge made by Washington when he reported that aluminum tubes alleged by U.S. officials to have been imported by Iraq...

...weighed in, calling on the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to withdraw from the Harare game: "In the light of the deteriorating political and humanitarian situation in the country, ministers have made clear that if the decision were for them, England should not play in Zimbabwe." His Australian counterpart, John Howard, appealed to the International Cricket Council, the sport's governing body, to boycott Zimbabwe, citing "appalling human rights abuses occurring in that country."

...Falcons were in the playoffs, but it was only four years ago when they emerged as NFC champions. Of course, that was before Michael Vick, who has looked a little more human down the stretch, when the Falcons lost three out of four to end the season. His counterpart, once known for his improvisation as well, though not as dynamically as Vick, is the incomparable Brett Favre, who finished second in the MVP voting this week in a close race with Raiders QB Rich Gannon. But while all the attention is on the quarterback position, don't discount the disruptive...

...power that is more than the sum of its parts. Like any other partnership, whether of business or brotherhood, Bush and Cheney's is more complicated than it looks. What is beyond dispute is that two men of very different skills, instincts and histories found in each other the counterpart who could take them places they couldn't go alone, at a time when the American journey turned suddenly perilous. Together they are leading us along a rough road with sharp curves, and while we may argue about where we're heading, we have no choice but to follow, because...
