...gut instinct was to jump down from my guard chair and pop her across the face, but I knew that doing so would just get me fired. Besides that, and more importantly, it would have gone against what I believe is right. Instead, I had her removed from the pool and sent home. My boss wouldn't let me put her on the "do not allow back in" list, but asked me to write up a report on her, to add to the several others that were already on file...

Airline pilots say that whisky-brown miasmas, visible from 70 miles, shroud almost every U.S. city, including remote towns like Missoula in Montana's "big sky" country.

If Clinton does send in the planes, 71% of those polled believe it will be because it is in the best interest of the nation, not to divert attention from Washington scandals. The real gut check for Clinton would come if several days of bombing failed to change the fundamental equation. Saddam, his weapons of mass destruction and his Republican Guard would still be there. The U.S. could simply declare "mission accomplished" and stop. But Saddam could emerge to make a taunting speech, declare victory...
