...confident in the Bush Administration's steering of the peace process? We have confidence in that. I hope we are proven right. Both sides alone won't reach an agreement. It is obvious from the last 60 years of experience with negotiations. With their continuous involvement, and serious intent, this can turn things around [if the United States really is going to put its weight behind its proposals...
...Bolton accuses the Administration of laxity in dealing with a nuclear-armed North Korea and an Iran intent on obtaining the bomb, not to mention its efforts to arrange a Middle East peace conference.

...premises of a modern education is that in throwing together a diverse group of the “best and brightest” from around the world, we produce the best university possible. With much the same intent, the New York Yankees over the past decade have tried to lure the best and brightest baseball players from the baseball-playing world. Both institutions draw their superstars through an incomparable pile of riches and an even bigger name. And both ensure that many of those aspirants end up with a new sense of humility: Even with the finest facilities and greatest...
