...Iran has previously tended to push the limit in its dealings with the international community over its nuclear program, and then retreat, carefully reading the responses and the red lines of its negotiating partners. But recently Tehran's tactics have become much more aggressive, and it does not seem likely that it will back down from its enrichment program. There is still room for maneuver: Iran has yet to start actually spinning the centrifuges to enrich uranium gas, and could agree under pressure to voluntarily desist from turning on the machines for a little while longer.

Jackson called Memphis too small and Washington too unformed...

The House of Representatives passed the act last Wednesday, but Friday’s 52-47 vote in the Senate failed to gain the support of 60 senators needed to invoke cloture, which would block a filibuster by setting a limit on debate. Four Republicans joined all but two of the Senate Democrats in voting against the measure. Much of their criticism focused on sections of the Patriot Act that outline the criteria under which the FBI can demand patron records from libraries, businesses, and other organizations, according to statements the senators released...
