While that may be true, Defense Secretary Robert Gates killed plans last year to buy a fleet of lasered 747s. However, Gates has continued R&D, and that gives missile-defense backers a flickering flame of hope. There's no doubt the companies involved - and their supporters in Congress - will use the shootdown to try to resurrect the program. After all, the heart of the program isn't a lumbering fleet of airliners but the chemical-oxygen-iodine lasers within...
...dosing and resuscitation, was "not present." Propofol, an anesthetic normally used in hospital settings for surgical procedures, was allegedly given to the pop icon at his home by Murray to treat insomnia in the hours leading up to his death on June 25. If convicted, the Houston-based cardiologist may face up to four years in state prison. Murray pleaded not guilty and was released on $75,000 bail. He is due back in court on April 5. (He was ordered to quit prescribing heavy sedatives, including propofol, to his patients.) (See TIME's tribute to Michael Jackson...

It's very hard to say no to these people unless you keep a very strict sense of boundaries in their head...
...this point, friendship may be too much to ask for. The country wants to see business getting done civilly and responsibly, not watch punches thrown on a frosty Beltway playground.

He needs to remind his adversaries that the purpose of government, ultimately, is to improve the lives of the American people, that...
Pakistan has long been characterized as a country whose rulers may be pro-American but whose people are decidedly not. In 1979, for example, Pakistani radio falsely reported that U.S. aircraft bombed Islam's holiest site in Mecca, prompting a mob to storm the U.S. embassy in Islamabad, killing five American and Pakistani staffers. This simmering hostility was stirred again after the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001 and boiled over, more recently, with drone missile strikes inside Pakistan's tribal territory in which dozens of suspected terrorists - and civilians - died. The Feb. 3 conviction in New York...
