...Three days earlier, Cheney--whose medical history includes three mild heart attacks and a coronary bypass--had been given a clean bill of health by his doctors in Washington. For backup, Bush's father put Cheney's doctors in touch with Dr. Denton Cooley, a renowned heart surgeon in Houston and a family friend. Cooley told Bush that Cheney's heart could handle the job. And so, on the 15th, Bush called his top three advisers to the mansion. They chewed over the possible risks of picking Cheney, but as chief strategist Karl Rove later said, they didn't come...
...great success. Some schools in affluent communities: I was just at the Calvert School in Baltimore a few weeks ago, which is a private school that has children who come from wealthy families.

Boeing's Huntington Beach, Calif., facility, for example, is located in the district of Republican Dana Rohrabacher, chairman of the Space and Aeronautics subcommittee. The Alabama district of Democrat Robert Cramer Jr., of the VA, HUD and Independent...
...need for increased gasoline prices. Additional cash has long been needed to address ever increasing regulation, the refurbishment of existing plants and the building of new facilities to meet a rising demand for gasoline. Consumers should know they are not guaranteed the right to low gasoline prices. KRISHNA SUBRAMANIAN Houston...
