...tennis lessons because it brings all the equipment--even the net--directly to the schools. That means parents don't have to shuttle their kids back and forth to private lessons and schools don't have to put a gym teacher on the payroll. Best of all, the 45-min. morning classes leave afternoons free for Buchinsky to work out and still get home in time to meet her three kids when they get out of school...
...outside his site office, he tosses me a white hard hat and, leaving me sweating and struggling to keep up, strides briskly toward the base of the Burj Dubai, the soaring skyscraper he's in charge of building. Riding together in a jangling construction elevator, it takes us 3 min. 50 sec. to ascend to the giddy heights of the 104th floor - and the building's reach for the sky won't stop there.

Even for a 22-min. episode The Simpsons, six months elapses between script and screen...

"In my judgment, the costs and risks of continuing down the current path outweigh the potential benefits that might be achieved" in changing gears now, Lugar said. Other Republicans, from George Voinovich to John Warner, expressed similar impatience with the progress in Iraq, indicating more defections are not far behind...
