...hand count in Miami-Dade being "in accordance with the principles of the country." And not one (this was the very first witness; Gore had a statistician up next, and Bush has a current list of 20) that consumed two and a half hours of a mini-trial whose supposed 12-hour clock is ticking. It wasn't the Bush lawyers that were trying Sauls' patience...
...confusion in Florida has postponed all that, at least for while. Powell doesn't want to be a part of anything presumptive, and that has given Bush another opportunity: to see if he can talk Democrat Sam Nunn into joining his team. It would be something of a mini-coup. Nunn spent 18 years in the Senate and was his party's pivotal player on national security for most of that period. But would Nunn do it?

"Sometimes I wake up and say, 'Man, we came from nothing and look at what we've got,'" says Diggs. Clearly, he's seen the mountaintop, and he likes the view. Now send up the accountants...
...Zagreb once again more involved in Bosnia and other countries of the region, in order to pull the whole region forward to political and economic reform and to separate the parties from the state. The nationalists see themselves as the only guarantee of survival, and they've turned their mini-states in Bosnia into party states staffed mostly by former communists and run like communist states. But that may take some rethinking of the Dayton framework. Dayton froze the situation in Bosnia, and while that may have stopped the war, its framework may also now be an obstacle to political...
