...Watching the results come in at the historic Eastland Park Hotel in downtown Portland, Scott Fish of the Stand for Marriage Maine campaign told TIME that the other side had acted with too much haste and too little respect for voters' wishes.

...heavily guarded, nondescript warehouse in St. Gabriel, a team of 150 medical examiners, coroners, forensic pathologists, dentists, radiologists and funeral directors is running an around-the-clock operation to prepare bodies for identification. They are men of few words, like Terry Edwards, 47, a veteran funeral director from Eastland, Texas.

He says they also hauled the aide's son out of college midterms, sent...

Rosenthal, direct-mail impresario Richard Viguerie and policy analyst Burton Pines -- suggested that he step aside in favor of a stronger candidate. Terry Eastland, author of a new book on the presidency titled Energy in the Executive, speaks for many fellow conservatives when he observes that "Bush has not put forward a positive reason for people to elect him to a second term, other than his foreign-policy record, which is simply not enough...
