...worry that Bush and his veteran advisers haven't awakened to the changes in the European Union since his dad was President. No longer just a trade pact, it now has its own currency and has embarked upon building a rapid reaction force of 60,000 troops, partly to enlist popular backing for the increased defense spending Washington wants too. "It's not just an economic and financial zone, but an ensemble of countries that want to unite in order to manage their affairs better and play a role in international affairs," says a senior French diplomat. But few think...
After a week working for a nongovernmental organization (NGO) in rural Saurashtra, I enlist as odd-job man in a kitchen tent on the outskirts of Bhuj. Not an instinctive volunteer-type, I have no idea why I'm here, just that those images on TV and in the papers demanded more than the routine cash-and-clothes donation. But there's not much time for introspection at the kitchen, run by Girishbhai, a small businessman.

A former director of AOL, Powell gave assurances that America's technology-challenged diplomacy would get an upgrade. "I live on the Internet," he said, promising to enlist the aid of some of "my buddies" from the outside world: Steve Case, Andy Grove and Michael Dell. Where Madeleine Albright was known to send big advance teams and require special foods and water when she traveled the world, Powell said, "I'm an easy visitor. I've got no food requirements...
...week where he has spent the whole year--in the weeds, spitting out e-mails, plotting every move. His team saw the public relations war sooner, launched the legal war faster. Gore was able to do in extremis what he could not do during his campaign: rally his party, enlist all the ghosts of campaigns past and get them to play together. But if he was tactically shrewd to offer to meet with Bush, drop all the lawsuits and recount ballots across the whole state, not just in heavily Democratic counties, he couldn't resist taking the truth...
