...voters are also right to feel that something is phony about democratic politics and that it's getting worse. Even a candidate who agrees with you on all important issues and always has???no dreaded flip-flops?is forced by the conventions of politics to be disingenuous about at least one core issue: why he or she is running...

...reported that the U.S. Army has??ordered trucks designed to deflect improvised-explosive-device blasts [March 26]. Where has the Pentagon been for the past 30 years? As a member of the South African Defense Force in 1979, I rode in vehicles shaped exactly how you described. They were most effective in diverting mine blasts away from the passengers and thereby saving their lives.

Then the song gets funny--"I've wrote her letters signed I was a fool/ She wrote me back saying go find...

George W. Bush has??always been suspicious, even contemptuous, of introspection. "I don't spend a lot of time looking in the mirror," he once bragged, "except when I comb my hair." Last week, though, he suddenly yielded to reporters' endless, and hitherto fruitless, efforts to plumb his moods.
