Avian flu claimed more lives last week. In eastern Turkey, initial tests showed at least two of the three deceased siblings from the Kocyigit family had succumbed to the virus' dreaded H5N1 strain, becoming its first human victims outside East Asia. As fears of a pandemic continue to grow, customs and health official's are struggling to halt a burgeoning trade in counterfeit forms of Tamiflu, the only drug approved to treat the disease. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials tell TIME that last week their officers seized 250 separate parcels of suspect Tamiflu at the airmail facility...
...people who know Bush well, the remark said it all about the longtime chill between the two pols?a distance that is only sure to grow with former lobbyist Jack Abramoff's guilty plea. Both camps describe the two conservative Texan's relationship as professional?an alliance, not a friendship. "DeLay admires Bush's leadership but still thinks of himself as the strongest conservative on the block," a DeLay friend says. "They perceive DeLay as a bull in a china shop. They appreciate him as their protector and retriever." Like many of his colleagues on Capitol Hill, DeLay suffers under...
TIME's assessment of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford skipped over the facts. You were critical of his frugality and his efforts to improve the economy without noting what he has actually done, which is to make the ground fertile for South Carolina's businesses to grow and prosper.

Sanford undertook our state's first comprehensive legal reform and retooled the commerce department. Although he inherited...
...people dream of aping their computers, which grow measurably more agile every six months. Not wiser or saner or more truthful, those immeasurable human qualities that are extolled by priests and poets, but just better at handling elaborate graphics, say, or performing multimillion-variable calculations. Assuming that we can keep up with these machines, where will it take us as a society? When the shared ideal is to be like Mr. Spock instead of Dr. Spock, and to emulate Dr. Jonas Salk rather than Marcus Welby, M.D., who will stroke humanity's fevered forehead? No one, I fear, unless...
...coalition, in which everybody has to be accommodated. We won't see a leader who will mobilize Israelis behind an initiative. So, I think the Palestinians will suffer because of a lack of leadership in Israel, and a lack of leadership among themselves-Israeli mistrust of the Palestinians will grow because the Palestinian leadership has failed to enforce law and order, and stop the growing chaos in its own territories. And that will discourage Israelis from seeking a deal with the Palestinians, because the Palestinians will appear incapable of implementing the promises they make. The "peace strategy" of President Mahmoud...
