...when his campaign began to lose ground to antiwar candidate Howard Dean. That bit of political expediency would have been survivable had Kerry not turned up, exhausted, in Huntington, W.Va., a few months later confessing that "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it." Karl Rove called that comment the most damaging 11 seconds in American politics--and the Bush campaign made the remark the center of a multimillion-dollar ad blitz in the months that followed. But in trying to clarify things since, Kerry has often made things murkier and has added footnotes...
...people are thought to have died during Ivan's terrifying assault on the U.S., and more than 70 in the Caribbean . And it's not over; even as Ivan's tattered remnants saturated the southeastern U.S. with flooding rains, Tropical Storm Jeanne was menacing the Dominican Republic and Hurricane Karl - the seventh...
Once a fixture at Studio 54 and a pal of Karl Lagerfeld's, Antonio Lopez was one of fashion's most famous illustrators in the 1970s and '80s. Today few people other than fashion insiders and students (his is the most requested name in the library at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City) are familiar with him.

...free to rejoin his Laker teammates--at least those who are left. As his legal team was scoring point after point, his basketball team, which lost to Detroit in the NBA finals, was disintegrating. Coach Phil Jackson is gone. So is Shaq, Gary Payton, Rick Fox and possibly Karl Malone. Bryant is the lone star, a few million dollars lighter for his legal fight--plus the $4 million "I'm sorry" ring for his wife--and toxic as a marketing personality. His contracts with McDonald's and Sprite are finished. He still has a $45 million deal with Nike...
...several Republicans told me, he was free to say anything he pleased. But Miller's speech wasn't the most disgraceful part of the G.O.P. show. That honor went to the Purple Heart Band-Aids ridiculing John Kerry's Vietnam wounds that were distributed by a past associate of Karl Rove's. It goes without saying that Rove had absolutely nothing to do with the idea--except perhaps for setting the scabrous tone of the Bush campaign...
