...America's pastor at prayer over the magazine's logo to reflect that the Good News he preaches is outside the confines of TIME - both the magazine and the dimension. That is consistent with veteran writers Gibbs' and Duffy's story, which focused on a spiritual rather than secular mission in which Graham was not confrontational about policy and politics but constantly challenged the state of each President's soul. Graham has always been very direct and urgent about the Gospel - the truth he most cared about conveying to people in power. A. Larry Ross, Director of Media/Public Relations...
Near the close of the 1960s, a squadron of young scuba divers headed out into the warm waters of the South Pacific, tanks of air strapped to their backs and syringes at the ready.

They expressed these concerns during a July visit by the U.K. Foreign Secretary David Miliband and, within the past two months, they have been able to make their case to a stream of visiting VIPs: Defense Secretary Des Browne, his Minister...
...assured the House of Commons Defense Committee that British forces in southeastern Iraq are unlikely to be reduced below 5,000 after Iraqi forces take over control of Basra. According to Air Chief Marshall Sir Jock Stirrup, head of the U.K. armed forces, that handover could come soon. "Our mission [in the South of Iraq] was to get the place and the people to a state where the Iraqis could run that part of the country, if they chose to, and we're very nearly there," he said in July. "Our mission was not to make the place look like...
