...role of commander-in-chief, rather than leader of a now-struggling GOP. But as Bush tries to regain his stride, he's expected to start by reaching out to his Republican supporters. Alito looks to be a good beginning; the choice of the Yale Law School grad, who spent a decade working in the Justice Department for both Reagan and the first President Bush, has conservatives excited. In another move to rebuild support among his base, Bush seems now more eager to attack the growth in federal spending. He gave a speech last week calling for spending cuts...

I mean, just think of the romantic possibilities—you?...

"I'm just not attracted to the gay lifestyle, toward gay people--I've never felt a kinship with them," says Manuel Lopez, a lapsed Catholic and University of Chicago grad student who went to the Exodus meeting. "There's a certain superficiality in gay attachments--musicals, fashion ... I do think it's a happier life being straight...
