...promising postvictory year. Instead, Social Security reform died; the U.S. death toll in Iraq passed 2,000; Katrina exposed the weakness of the Administration's bench players; a Supreme Court nominee fell; a White House aide resigned under indictment.

...Pyongyang before defecting to Seoul in 2002: "The grid is a mess." Seoul estimates that building the extra generating capacity and lines needed would cost $1.7 billion, but the final price could be many times higher.
