...leading spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), was shown evidence of the ISI's continued dabbling in Kashmir. This was followed up with a warning, say diplomats, that the Bush Administration won't tolerate Pakistan's provocative meddling any longer. And after Gulf War II, such warnings tend to grab people's attention...
Ultimately, then, Democratic presidential candidates who want to grab a share of the NASCAR vote in next year’s primaries must prove that they are sound on matters of national defense. In fairness, Sen. Graham seems to realize this—kind of.

...government's fight against SARS. Some China watchers believe that the public clamor for transparency may create an opportunity for Hu, a career bureaucrat with liberal tendencies, to push for the kinds of sweeping political reforms that party elders have long resisted.

But in the race to tempt the palates of a generation brought up on mocha frappes--and maybe even, in some cases, grab the sweet-toothed fake-ID crowd--what chance does, say, a fine vodka like the venerable Russian Magadanskaya have against Ciclon, the tequila-and-lime-spiked rum, or Coco coconut-flavored rum, both getting big play at the Bacardi booth? ("There's not another 70-proof coconut rum out there," says Steven Messer, a Bacardi assistant marketing manager.) Or against Atomic X's cloying, vaguely tropical...
