...even as he competes with McCain's appeal to reform-minded centrists, military veterans and independents, Bush must contend with Steve Forbes' attacks from the right. The multimillionaire publisher has yet to launch the kind of televised air assault against Bush that he did against Bob Dole in 1996, but last week he started warming to the task. He accused Bush of reading his foreign-policy opinions "off of a TelePrompTer" and of turning too often to Washington solutions. On Thursday night Forbes will almost certainly inform debate watchers that Bush tried to raise some taxes in Texas, that...
Bush, once the lone front runner, is now in a two-front war. He must appeal to home-schooling Evangelicals in Waterloo, Iowa, even as he reaches out to socially moderate soccer moms in Nashua, N.H. He must halt McCain's surge in New Hampshire, but he cannot take victory for granted in Iowa, where being organized counts for more on caucus night than doing well in early polls, and where Forbes is dumping huge sums of money into the most sophisticated campaign organization in state history.

And even as he promises tax cuts, a G.O.P. staple, he swears he will work hard to close the gap between society's "haves and have-nots...
...Even with the completion of the four canonical Gospels, Paul's interpretation of the Resurrection remains the fullest--in the silently cataclysmic event of Jesus' return to life, God the Father ratified and glorified the Son's chosen path and the redemptive agony to which Jesus had consented in his horrific death. Finally Paul asserts what seems, to many Christians and non-Christians alike, the hardest and truest test of all: "If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is empty, and your faith is empty...
