...Bush's Secret Mission I really loved Bob Geldof's article about President George W. Bush's policies for Africa [March 3]. Geldof made clear his opinion of Bush, but in the course of the article he also paid homage to some good the President has done.

Pity Dick Cheney, when Air Force Two lifts off on Sunday for the Middle East. Reviving the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks looks to be the simpler part of his mission, compared with the task that awaits him in the Saudi capital of Riyadh - persuading the 13-country OPEC cartel to help bring down the soaring price of oil by boosting output. As cynics might say, good luck with that...
