...Packers, theirs began anew in 1992. From out of nowhere, or rather the New York Jets, came a new general manager, Ron Wolf. He hired Holmgren, the crackerjack offensive coordinator for the 49ers who can go both ways - tough and tender. That same year Wolf traded a first-round draft choice to the Atlanta Falcons for backup quarterback Brett Favre, who soon replaced incumbent Dan Majkowski.

...high turnout, and probable approval, by Iraqis of their draft constitution over the weekend was welcome news for the Bush administration. "We're makings progress toward peace," Bush said on Sunday. Despite that success, the week will likely be full of stories depicting either GOP "division" or "disarray." Washington is abuzz with rumors that an indictment could come as soon as this week in the CIA leak case. Both Karl Rove, the president's top political advisor, and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, could face charges. Bill Frist, the top Republican...
