...After a year in office, one thing is clear about Bush's political operatives: when they make a mistake, they fix it fast. When their conservative instincts lead them down a path that much of the country isn't keen on, they are awfully good at changing the subject while holding to their original course. Which is why Bush, early last week, said his mother-in-law was one of the little people who got screwed by the corporate giant. On a trip to a West Virginia machinery shop Tuesday, Bush told workers that Jenna Welch, 82, had lost almost...
...August, he walked out of the shelter in a fit of frustration. His mother agreed to take him in temporarily. Soon afterward, a neighbor said Sanders could rent a 6-ft. by 12-ft. room with the $215 welfare check, if he would also help fix up the place. Elated, he went the next day to the welfare office and got approval. The check took three weeks to arrive, testing the patience of his new landlord. But at last he moved in.

Bratt, 38, hits lovely, seductive notes in director Leon Ichaso's ragged symphony of self-destruction.

"Since I grew up in it," she says, "I'm comfortable with all sides of the business." That perhaps accounts for the untroubled ease with which she inhabits a range that has included a political activist...
Among the best-selling prescription drugs in the U.S. today are the statins--powerful medications that can lower cholesterol levels by as much as 30 points. A fix that quick comes at a price, however, as Baycol users learned this fall. The popular statin was pulled off the market after health officials discovered that a disturbing number of users were suffering from muscle disorders. Other statins, including atorvastatin, lovastatin and pravastatin, remain safe, according...
