...logistics of his announcement suggest some radical rethinking. Kerry dropped his plan to make his announcement in front of Old Ironsides in Boston Harbor and instead will do it in South Carolina, in front of an aircraft carrier. The switch puts more emphasis on his military background and less on his Massachusetts roots, which are both political baggage and a reminder of how directly he is competing with Dean. And the aircraft-carrier backdrop draws a more direct contrast with a different presidential candidate: George W. Bush. You can count on hearing Kerry's favorite applause line of late...
...black lines and hieroglyphs on vivid colored grounds. Sometimes the lines form discernible figures, as in the sexy Forest Witches, or the powerful Kettledrummer, with one stick-like arm raised high, the other down, as if beating the slow, ceremonial dirge of a funeral march.

Cole in Aden harbor; last year's attacks on a French tanker off Yemen's coast and an Israeli tourist hotel in Mombasa, Kenya; and the May 12 bombing of Western residential compounds in Riyadh...
...someone important: Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis Libby, told TIME that during one of his regular CIA briefings, "the Vice President asked a question about the implication of the report." Cheney's interest hardly came as a surprise: he has long been known to harbor some of the most hard-line views of Saddam's nuclear ambitions. It was not long before the agency quietly dispatched a veteran U.S. envoy named Joseph Wilson to investigate...
