...View, California, U.S. Since I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat, I can say objectively that Kerry would probably be a good President. But what truly scares me is that presidential elections hinge on whether a candidate is likable instead of capable. It makes me wonder whether Abraham Lincoln would be elected if he ran today. Not likely. The challenges the U.S. faces, like terrorism and job outsourcing, are based on fundamental problems that will take years, if not decades, to solve. Politicians want to give voters the impression that there is a quick fix for difficulties that have...
That's a reversal for a company that has spent years focused on light trucks--and, even there, idled while Ford and General Motors dominated the trend-setting hip-hop market with such SUVs as the Lincoln Navigator and the Cadillac Escalade. Until now the DaimlerChrysler merger has been known mostly for plant closures, job cuts and jet-lagged executives. Moreover, Chrysler's gambit to charge premium prices with such new products as its luxe Pacifica wagon has met with resistance from consumers.

Some enthusiasts hide boxes in urban areas. (There's one near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.) But in this day and age, such sites present a unique set of problems.

To lessen anxiety, most boxers use translucent containers so that people can see inside and know they're safe. Ultimately, however, the game is about the thrill of the unknown. In April the Connollys found themselves in the middle...
...party's presumptive nominee for President, John Kerry--to put their opposition on record in the hope that the issue will hurt them this fall. But some Republican opponents of the amendment are complaining that Frist's ploy will put them on the spot as well. Rhode Island Senator Lincoln Chafee tells TIME he has begun organizing G.O.P. moderates who oppose the amendment--and even some conservatives who object to tinkering with the Constitution--to "send a message" to Frist that it's a losing cause. Senate Republican sources say Frist will have trouble mustering a simple majority, much less...
