Bush's Secretary of State COLIN POWELL, a moderate in an Administration full of hard-liners, has maintained near perfect decorum with Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney in public. But the three men fought pitched battles behind the scenes over most of the Administration's foreign policies. For the first time this year, Powell started winning a few. Powell, 65, has long taken exception to the conservatives' muscular brand of unilateralism, arguing instead that the U.S. should act in concert with allies. He scored a crucial victory in August when he persuaded President Bush to engage the U.N. before attacking...
...many Americans, DONALD RUMSFELD's brawny bellicosity is the personification of American strength and confidence. Overseas, many allies and most foes see the Pentagon boss as the picture of American arrogance. Still, the Defense Secretary, 70, gets along well with George W., and why not?

He has Bush's backing in the Secretary's uphill efforts to remake the Army, Navy and Air Force into lighter, faster, stealthier versions of themselves.

Representative Steiger, fatefully, made his young charge the point man for an informal group of new G.O.P. members that was trying to create a fresher, more appealing face for the Republican Party. It was nicknamed "Rummy's Raiders," after its leader, Illinois Representative Donald Rumsfeld. Cheney got to know the boisterous and driven former fighter pilot well enough that when Rumsfeld was tapped by President Richard Nixon to run the Office of Economic Opportunity, Cheney wrote him an unsolicited memo outlining how he should handle the job. Rumsfeld hired Cheney on the spot...
...furor over the proposed legislation goes a long way to dispel the myth that Hong Kong people are only worried about their pocket books. However, they have more than adequate reason to be worried about money matters as well. Back in 1997, Donald Tsang, the then financial secretary and now number two in the administration, assured Hong Kongers that the worst of the financial crisis would be over by the end of the year. And that Hong Kong was likely to fare better than other Asian countries caught in the financial whirlwind. Instead, the crisis got a lot worse...
