...Airport--which was foiled on Dec. 14, 1999? Did he have any al-Qaeda strategy at all? Rice, who has not yet testified under oath, decided to review counterterrorism policy; the review wasn't completed until Sept. 4. A related question along the same lines: Why didn't you deploy the armed Predator drones in Afghanistan? The technology, which might have provided the clearest shot at Osama bin Laden before 9/11, was available early in 2001. But the CIA and the Pentagon squabbled about which agency would be in charge of pulling the trigger. The dispute wasn't resolved until...

Analysts with Air Force intelligence, for instance, took issue with the assertion--hinted at by President Bush in a speech in October 2002--that Iraq was building a fleet of unmanned aircraft with which to deploy its chemical and biological arsenal.

Indeed, it seems that not enough vacuous and fawning praise can be heaped upon Idealism 101, as it is stroked in a single Harvard Gazette profile as “a way of having richer discussion,” “creating a caring community,” “[helping students] envision what they could become,” and helping to “bring about a more humane, peaceful world.” Naturally...
...think about where to deploy assets this year and beyond, save room for dividend payers. Byron Wien, market strategist at Morgan Stanley, predicts that a surge in the prices of stocks with a yield will be one of the big surprises of 2004 and that the year's winners will include Pfizer, Wyeth, Bristol-Myers, GE, Microsoft (it started paying a dividend last year), Coca-Cola and Altria. Any number of mutual funds focus on dividend payers. Among the best are Fidelity Dividend Growth, T. Rowe Price Dividend Growth and (if you invest through a broker) Capital Income Builder from...
