...reaching across the candidates to wrest a thumb from 4-year-old Jack Edwards' mouth. Or when during a $7.5 million Radio City Music Hall fund raiser, comedian Whoopi Goldberg went into a raunchy riff of lewd--and not particularly funny--puns that employed the word bush. Someone apparently hadn't told her that the password for the week was values--a term that one or the other of the two candidates used eight separate times in their interview with TIME. When Kerry and Edwards took the stage--again declaring their campaign a "celebration of American values"--Kerry congratulated Goldberg...
...surprise--lawyers provided the lion's share of Edwards' presidential-primary-campaign funds. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, of the $14.5 million he raised, $9.3 million came from lawyers or law firms.

Bush was forced to acknowledge on the stump that "stockpiles" hadn't yet been found, but he and especially Vice President Dick Cheney seem reluctant to abandon the Saddam-al-Qaeda fantasy. The consequences of Iraq-including the Administration's approval of the use of torture on enemy combatants-have sapped the energy of Bush's re-election campaign. The number...
...just yet. Melvill made it to just the edge of space, only about a quarter of the way to the International Space Station. And he ran into a scary glitch: during its ascent, SpaceShipOne lost its trim control, which keeps it from rolling and pitching. If the backup system hadn't kicked in, Melvill would now be a crater in the Mojave Desert. --By Lev Grossman
