...supposedly "nonpartisan" study written by his former adviser), Bradley scarcely seemed to care. "We each have our own experts," he sighed. Now Bradley is realizing that higher octane may be required. Bradley's staff, which at Dartmouth scoffed at Gore's rapid-response handouts ("They're fighting the last war," sniffed an aide), is sending out attack faxes slapping Gore for "promises without price tags." Bradley didn't have much choice except to engage, but it's risky--politics as usual--and maybe a little sad. If he's not careful, he's going to let them see him sweat...

Just last week jets bombed missile sites around Mosul for three days. According to documents reviewed by TIME, on some days the Air Force has dropped more than 30 bombs and missiles on as many as half a dozen Iraqi targets. Two months ago, the war ratcheted up when U.S. warplanes attacked an air-defense center south of Mosul and later discovered they had caused "serious destruction" to a 500-man unit hidden there, according...
