...speed, memory and hard drive, the X-box is beefier than any other games console, including the much ballyhooed PlayStation 2. Early demonstrations are jaw-droppingly good. Imagine 1,024 Ping-Pong balls on screen--the engineers take geekish delight in disclosing the exact number--bouncing around like crazy on a varnished oak floor, springing 1,024 mousetraps.

"What I'm 'a do," he said last week, jutting his jaw in South Carolina, "is remind people about my record--remind people that I'm comin' with a record from outside Washington." But it is a measure of the trouble Bush is in that when he started doing that--unveiling a new slogan, A REFORMER WITH RESULTS--he was trying to climb inside the knight's armor already worn by John McCain.
