...only prudent for U.S. intelligence to track any hint that Saddam may try to enlist a terrorist network in his battle against America. But the hawks are doing damage to their own cause by trumpeting unproved allegations of Saddam's links to bin Laden that could undermine more substantial reasons for taking down a dangerous dictator. The al-Qaeda connection looks too tenuous now to justify war with Iraq. If the President is truly concerned about preserving American credibility, he needs to do a more persuasive job explaining why another war against Iraq is worth the effort...
...wonder, then, that so many companies are relying on celebrities, trendsetters or even seemingly ordinary consumers to say it for them--often with no hint that money or merchandise has changed hands. The New York Times revealed that drug companies are making payments to celebrities or their favorite charities in return for their touting pharmaceutical products on talk shows: Lauren Bacall praised Visudyne as a treatment for macular degeneration, Rob Lowe plugged Neulasta to combat a side effect of chemotherapy, and Kathleen Turner directed viewers to a website for a drug for rheumatoid arthritis.

In adjusting their shelter to the season or day or weather, people are coaxed into understanding and working with nature. It's a relationship crucial to preservation of all species. --By Belinda Luscombe
...through a breakup. "This is how it goes: You'll get angry at yourself/And think you can think of something else," she sings on her new album, Lost in Space. Her music is rock at its most comforting, with gently swinging rhythms and mournful guitar lines. Sometimes only a hint of distortion steers it clear of soft-rock territory. The words ultimately, however, are not soft but the tough caveats of an ex-romantic. Her message is one rarely heard in rock: Sometimes you just have to lower your expectations. Dear Aimee, How come there aren't more songwriters like...
