After his exeunt from the citizens of Massachusetts, a poor attempt at national eclat and a wretched first novel, Weld has finally dug his own grave. By leaving Susan Weld and their five children and deciding to "date" while still married to his lady-wife, Weld clearly aspires to Clintonesque activities. Does he truly think his image will remain as Teflon as the President? By thinking that his middle-aged paunch and balding head might possibly be attractive on-screen, in addition to his deplorable treatment of his wife, Weld has remade himself into a less than admirable public figure...

That will not only be a splendid feat of underwater salvage but may also offer Civil War buffs an answer to what happened on that fateful night 136 years...
...exam but also write an essay for extra credit--it is ALSo part of what gives voters pause. When the subject gets serious and Bush doesn't, you have to wonder whether a man so in love with certainty, so impatient with complexity, is ready for the grave duties of the presidency. That may be why he was willing to entertain doubt last week when he agreed for the first time in his record-setting 131 executions to grant a 30-day reprieve so that a more sophisticated DNA test of semen and hair samples could be performed...
