Bush aides say that Chertoff, unlike Brown, doesn't have to worry about losing his job. "He'll gut it out," says a Bush adviser of Chertoff. "He'll definitely do better next time." --By James Carney. With reporting by Mike Allen and Sally B. Donnelly / Washington...
...With the gut-wrenching details of heinous sex crimes making national headlines in the past few years, it's easy to see why cities and states would rush to get tougher on offenders even after they get out of prison.

"I just had a gut feeling that at some point my time would come up," says Terry Pickett, who spent 17 years at Maytag as a tooling designer. Before he was laid off in April 2004, he had begun to look elsewhere for his future; he will finish his degree in civil engineering next spring. The town has been preparing as well. Since 2002, Newton has poured $130 million into parks, a 40,000-seat racetrack and small...
