...rally barely made a dent in the news cycle--or in the bounce that Bush got in the polls after his convention. But it sent a shock through Kerry's dispirited troops. "They had gotten to the point where they had lost their ability to be aggressive," an adviser recalls. "But all that had changed, and the campaign finally was getting the message: You don't have to roll over. It was more a message to our own people that if they hit us, we'll stay up all night to hit them back...
Often individuals feel powerless to make a dent in such complex environmental problems as climate change.

...once geriatric CBS raced to the top of the network pack with its powerful CSI franchise, but perennial also-ran ABC has the season's sole breakout hits, Lost and Desperate Housewives, a steamy evening soap that Zucker passed on. If the ratings slide continues, it could put a dent in NBC's well-cultivated image as the upscale network of choice for Madison Avenue and make it hard for NBC to match the record $2.9 billion in up-front advertising it took in last spring.
