...achieved, and that must have taken a lot of guts and hard work. She has been an inspiration to the nation and other peoples of the world. She beautifully embodies one of the West's greatest institutions. Syed Ali Musa Zaidi Rawalpindi, Pakistan Queen Elizabeth's fame transcends her dominion. In Africa, when you say the word queen, the first thing that comes to mind is Britain's Queen Elizabeth. Curiously, although most of the world is under the rule of elected people, and progressive thinkers have questioned the relevance of monarchies in modern times, the vestiges of monarchical cravings...
...recent months the internal dynamic has shifted. Through the first term, Cheney's dominion over foreign policy was unchallenged. And while he remains the Administration's voice on national security, the ascendance of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the distraction of the CIA-leak investigation and public doubts about the handling of the Iraq occupation mean the Vice President often finds himself advocating rather than orchestrating.

Kilgore's bash, decorated with bunches of balloons in the hunters' blaze orange that was his campaign trademark, never got started. It was in a vast space, with no toes tapping to the toe-tapping country music. Across Fifth Street, Democrats roared as each update about the race was flashed on the Richmond stations' ticker running beneath prime-time entertainment programming...
...Even for Election Eve, Kilgore is unusually nervous. On Tuesday night, he will either be Governor-elect of the Old Dominion, one of the nation's most reliably Republican states, or poster boy for his national party's woes heading into next year's mid-term elections. "We can't even win in Virginia?" Republicans will be asking themselves if the former state attorney general does not pull it out in his neck-and-neck race against the Democratic Lieutenant Governor, Timothy M. Kaine. "The conventional wisdom will be that the Republicans are on the verge of a massive meltdown...
