...Bush promised $15 billion in AIDS funding over five years, the first year's funding did not meet expectations. On education, his signature bipartisan accomplishment, Congress has not come up with the money that education experts say it will take to truly leave no child behind. Democratic Congressman George Miller and Senator Ted Kennedy, both of whom had done business with Bush and became symbols of Bush's early willingness to reach across party lines, are now bitter opponents of the White House...

Newcomer Wentworth Miller is startlingly good as the tormented young Silk, torn between the pulls of family and future.
