...certainly seemed that way at the time, but the vote on the $87 billion marked the end of Kerry's AWOL period. Within two weeks, a mild-mannered warrior emerged from the phone booth. While Kerry was preoccupied with the war, all sorts of problems, great and small, were festering within the campaign. Some arguments had been festering, unresolved, for months. The biggest problem was Jordan, who had a positive genius for alienating Kerry's closest associates, including wife Teresa and brother Cam.

The story details his struggle to bring that force under control and use it to fight other, more malevolent, demons. Like Casshern, virtually every frame in Devilman blends live action and computer graphics. Judging by segments that have been completed, Devilman will be a lush, Gothic-flavored...
...executives are now playing up their hybrid efforts and racing to retool assembly lines in order to crank out up to 1 million hybrids by 2007. The company delivered a mild-hybrid version of its full-size Chevy Silverado pickup to Miami-Dade County's government fleet last month, and plans to make the vehicles available to consumers this fall. Over the next few weeks, GM says, it will deliver 234 hybrid buses to the city of Seattle. GM executive Larry Burns claims that those buses will provide the fuel savings of 8,000 hybrid cars on the road...
