...Pacific has seen an increase in hurricanes and typhoons in recent years, the southwestern Indian Ocean has remained stable and the northern Indian Ocean has actually seen a drop. Around the world, all that amounts to a statistical wash. "It's an unresolved issue," says atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "but we do not see any increase at all in the frequency of hurricanes globally...
...accused of lacking ideas: many of the party's most prominent leaders are putting out long tomes detailing their views. Later this month, Ted Kennedy's book America Back on Track will lay out ideas to ensure universal health care for all Americans, and House Democrat Rahm Emanuel and former Clinton aide Bruce Reed will put out a modestly titled book called The Plan in August that includes ideas such as a national science and technology center modeled on the National Institutes of Health.

Incumbent Charles Taylor is on the defense there with claims that an electronic glitch prevented him from casting his vote against the Central American Free Trade Agreement, which Bush...
...tout as an option different from the Republican agenda, the way Gingrich and G.O.P. candidates did in 1994 with their 10-point Contract with America. Few voters were aware of the particulars of the Contract, but it helped give coherence and a positive tilt to the party message. Emanuel points out that the Republicans did not unveil their 1994 Contract until September of that year and says the Democrats are leery of doing anything right now that may draw attention away from the Republicans' problems. Still, he promises, "we will have, and properly so, in late spring and early summer...
