...were asleep at the switch," admits a Democratic aide. "That's why Dean got his lift-off. He saw how angry Democrats across the country really were." In a TIME/CNN poll, 77% of Democrats said the party needs better leaders in Congress, and 63% said it hasn't been strong enough in taking on President Bush. Listen to the Democrats who are turning up at high school gyms on cold New Hampshire nights, and you hear almost as much anger aimed at Washington Democrats as at the White House.

On Saturday, Sullivan put the new defense into practice immediately after Dartmouth’s first basket...
...Muzaffarabad reopens? Will he ever be able to sleep through the night or hear wind rattling his windows without thinking the Indian army is knocking on his door? The prospect of change has brought another fear. "I'm starting to breathe freely, and the pressure has begun to lift, and I'm coming alive," Khan confides. "But suddenly I'm thinking, 'Don't hope too much. We've been here before, and gone back to fighting...
