...Chavez got a warm reception at the meeting of leaders last night. Or that the meeting went much longer than anyone had planned, making a president famous for going to bed at 9 stay up close to midnight. At dinner some of his aides groaned when they saw the delays flash on their BlackBerrys. "They've only gotten to the appetizers," said one at 10 p.m., distressed about the long delay. Still, it would be mistake to dismiss the summit or to think that the region has backslid to the days when extremist politics dominated...
...grand jury indicted him on five charges related to the leaked identity of CIA Agent Valerie Plame. The charges include one count of obstruction of justice, two counts of perjury, and two counts of making false statements. The indictment comes soon after the arrest of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who was charged with conspiracy to violate state election laws and money laundering, felony counts that forced him to step aside as majority leader. Largely responsible for the successes of our legal system in the case of Libby is special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald, who has done a superb...

Cheney could find himself a witness in a criminal trial, House majority leader Tom DeLay had to step down to fight indictments for money laundering, and Senate majority leader Bill Frist is under investigation for possible insider trading. The party's ambitious comers are not running as Bush's allies and heirs, and the 2006 campaign promises to be an epic battle. G.O.P. pollster Bill McInturff says the percentage of people who define themselves as "very interested" in the 2006 elections is already...
...glad to see someone point out the dubious nature of the antiaging business. Most of what we spend on vitamin supplements and health food represents unreasonable expectations of our ability to control aging. Such purchases only distract from what is truly important: taking the steps necessary to delay age-related disease. I will read Weil's entire book and recommend this article to my patients.

...DeLay's Indictment House majority leader Tom DeLay [who defiantly rejects charges of illegal campaign-finance dealings] projects mean-spiritedness [Oct. 10]. He has smirked his way through many media moments. I wonder why some political leaders seem to choose an adversarial approach to situations that actually call for amiable discourse. Admired leaders demonstrate nonarrogant and confident behavior. That demeanor and knowing the right thing to do are what we constituents desire from our leaders. Joanne M. Petroske Churchville, Pennsylvania...
