...first glance, McKinnon is an unlikely messenger for the G.O.P. cause. With the air of the Nashville singer-songwriter he once was, he is the kind of hep-cat presence that red-meat Republicans like to mock. A longtime Democratic consultant, based in Austin, Texas, who grew so disillusioned with politics that he gave it up in the mid-1990s, McKinnon was wooed back into the game by Bush's charms. Now he is not only Bush's chief imagemaker--directing the convention film, overseeing the campaign ads and even shooting some of the footage himself--but he is also...

That's why TIME uses a drawing in the middle of this column instead of a picture. You cannot imagine...

Things began unraveling even before the $20 million exoatmospheric kill vehicle left Kwajalein Atoll on Friday night, when the balloon decoy accompanying a mock warhead fired from California failed to inflate. Then, shortly after the launch of the interceptor, its final rocket stage refused to separate from the kill vehicle, dooming the mission. AIR FORCE LIEUT. GENERAL RON KADISH, who runs the military's missile-defense programs, monitored the test from inside a secure Pentagon conference room. His nervous energy soured into bitter disappointment as he watched...
