Despite McCain's occasional inconsistencies, his supporters argue that he would have an unmatched amount of credibility and conviction when it really counts: the moment a President decides to send troops into conflict. "The decisions you face in the White House are 50.1 against 49.9, and there are persuasive people on both sides," Kissinger says. "McCain has had the sort of experience that he could not have survived without knowing who he was and what he stood for." Says Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman, one of McCain's Democratic allies: "John has lived for years with these foreign-policy questions...
...exchange for being on the program, I got more face time than usual with the Governors, including late-night margaritas and brandy.

Says Brion: "The willingness to fall on your face pays for the moments that are a little more transcendent." He's now shopping his shelved solo CD to other labels, but with the Magnolia sound track, Brion has already achieved a good measure of grace...
...this the face of 21st century activism? The '60s-era left was marginalized by two giddily capitalist decades of leveraged buyouts, Web IPOs and rising tides that lifted the biggest ships. That may have changed last Tuesday, when masked youths started smashing windows in Seattle. In one red-hot CNN Minute, the eclectic concerns of a planetful of protesters--environmentalism, Tibet, child labor, human rights--crystallized right where most of them didn't want to be: beneath the anarchist banner...
