...Reagans fairly--as if anyone really wants to--until it airs next year on Showtime, CBS's pay-cable corporate sibling. But we don't generally look to made-for-TV mini-series for ungilded truth. Remember, if not for scurrilous, insensitive, sensationalized TV movies about the (liberal, Democrat) Kennedys, we would have to clone five Michael Jacksons to fill the holes in the sweeps-stunt calendar. If Americans were going to depend on The Reagans as a history lesson--rather than as a campy Washington version of I Love the 80s--the Republic is doomed. And if you think...
There was some high-minded grumbling from Dean's increasingly desperate opponents about his decision to jump the federal spending restraints--he is the first Democrat to do so since the system began in 1974--but the move made perfect sense. If he wins the nomination, Dean will be facing the best-financed presidential campaign in history, and he'll need all the financial help he can get.

...frighten off Iraqi recruits. And Bush needs to find adequate replacements before tired G.I.s are due to rotate home next spring, smack in the middle of his re-election campaign. Yet rushing ill-trained, ill-equipped Iraqis into the breach could create new problems. Senator Joseph Biden, senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, says the Administration's "stampede" to put locals in charge of pacifying Iraq "runs the risk of having the house of cards come down [if] the Iraqi people not only conclude that we can't do it but that those who are working with...
...This is not the usual congressional committee food fight," said a Washington intelligence hand who's worked in both Democratic and Republican administrations. With stakes so high as the presidential election looms less than a year away, he said, "the Republicans are trying to protect the White House and make this a CIA problem. And I assume the Democrats are trying to make sure this isn't just laid at the door of the CIA." Democrats retorted that the confidential memo had only been seen, and not used, by Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, the panel's top Democrat...
