With so many hungry men looking to take his place, Gore finds himself the one with the most to prove in the money race. His 2000 campaign left donors furious over what they saw as an inept operation; more recently, they have been bewildered by his near disappearance from the political scene. No wonder others have come courting. "There are a number of important national Democratic leaders who I have found it important to support, including Al Gore," says Alan Solomont, the Democratic Party's former national finance chairman. All the players will be looking at second-quarter fund-raising...
...Baan, as the Dai call it (Luosuo Jiang on Chinese maps) is about two hours' drive from Jinghong. The first part of the trip is scarier than the rafting: a twisting road dips and soars above the furious foamy rush of the Mekong's narrow gorges. Just when you're wishing you had found time to write your last will and testament, though, the road eases off into long, straight runs through rice paddies, and the previous hour's terror is left behind?much like the worst moments of river rafting, once the boat reaches calm waters.

In Congress the plan will probably touch off a furious battle whose outcome could define Bush's presidency. But the story of how the Administration decided to stage its megamerger--and yet not take on the dysfunctional intelligence agencies--is a case study of the decision-making process of America's first M.B.A. President. George W. Bush likes to think of himself as a CEO who makes the big decisions but leaves...
...brewing the U.S. had gone up 1-0--excuse us, one-nil--on the stylish Europeans. And the Yanks kept lighting up Portugal like a pachinko table: 2-0 in the 29th minute and 3-0 in the 36th on a beautifully taken header by Brian McBride. Despite a furious Portuguese rally, the U.S. held on to a 3-2 victory for one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history...
