...blame, the Turkish mess made it harder to fight the war. With a substantial force coming down from Turkey, there was a chance--though no certainty--of pacifying the "Sunni triangle" to the north and west of Baghdad, including Saddam's hometown of Tikrit. Instead, Iraqi fighters loyal to Saddam left Baghdad and went home, where, motivated by nationalism and tribal loyalties, they could regroup and plan attacks on American forces. It was not until June--in Operations Desert Scorpion and Peninsula Strike--that the fight was taken to them. One battle, for the town of Dululiyah, north of Baghdad...
TiVo is a strange phenomenon. While owners adore it with cultlike affection, its loyal-fan base remains relatively small--just 800,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Britain. That's nothing compared to the millions of VCRs out there. But by saving shows digitally to a hard drive--and offering features like Season Pass, which automatically records every episode of, say, Sex and the City--TiVo puts the VCR to shame. Trouble is, customers have been skittish about the subscription fee for TiVo service. So, to gain wider appeal, TiVo is expanding its satellite-TV offerings and teaming up with...

(Reagan, 92, suffers from Alzheimer's disease and made his last public statement in a farewell letter in 1994.) That helps explain why this Life in Letters has its gaps. There is little here about his mother Nelle...
...George Bush will be a very difficult incumbent to unseat next November, the main reason being the party he belongs to. Republicans are simply more loyal and committed to their leaders than Democrats. Democrats felt that Al Gore was too boring and dull to rally behind in 2000. The Democrats didn't show up when it mattered - election day. It happened in 2000 and will likely happen again in 2004. Pasha Sidhu Toronto, Canada...
