The choreographer Susan Stroman is a living repository of Broadway dance history. The excellence of Cassandra Wilson is a function of her mastery of the canon of the jazz vocal that she so beautifully extends...
...Cheney's heart rate slows to fewer than 40 or 50 beats per minute, for example, the Gem III DR's pacemaker function will speed it up with a series of short bursts of about 5 volts each. If his heart starts pumping too fast, the defibrillator portion will release longer bursts in quick succession to slow it down. And if it starts beating dangerously fast--more than 200 beats per minute--Gem III DR will restart it with a jolt measuring a few hundred volts (enough to feel like a swift kick in the chest...

It's unlikely that Powell would run back if things collapse in a couple of weeks. He'd take that as a vindication of his earlier stance against rushing in because there was too little to be gained. He's been very open about the fact that he went this time under a lot of pressure from U.S. allies who've been urging the Bush administration to get more involved. If anything goes wrong, he'll simply...
