Thursday's report to the UN Security Council by the officials leading arms inspection efforts in Iraq gave the strongest indication yet that the inspection process won't yield a definitive judgment on whether the country is conducting prohibited weapons programs by the January 27 deadline. The most dovish voices in the Bush war party - Secretary of State Colin Powell and Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair - are warning that January 27 should not, in fact, be regarded as a definitive deadline...

After a friend prodded her to study...
...which I imagine as a deep, earthy red. Honestly, however, I'd be hard pressed to differentiate the color of an ox's blood from a dog's or a pigeon's (often used to describe the reddest of Burmese rubies). But then, Finlay's vivid writing colors my judgment. By bringing out the darker side to colors, she makes them all the brighter...
