...smirk is much more harmful now that it's been captured on tape. (Imagine if we had footage of Forbes eating caviar or McCain losing his cool.) The most telling moment in last Monday's debate grew out of Bush's earlier assertion that he was reading a biography of Dean Acheson. You might have thought he would then take the time to skim the dust jacket, at least. When CNN's Judy Woodruff asked what he had learned from Acheson, Bush neither placed the former Secretary of State in an Administration or with a policy, but blithely clutched...

...colossus, while business strategists ponder what went wrong.

The Fatherland-All Russia coalition headed by former prime minister Yevgeny Primakov and Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkhov...
They've been portrayed as the Rosenbergs of the '90s, and they're not happy about it. Sylvia and Wen Ho Lee, two Asian-born naturalized Americans, don't appreciate being branded as spies for communist China, and on Monday they filed a lawsuit in Washington, D.C., Circuit Court against the three federal agencies they say irresponsibly ruined their reputations. Wen Ho Lee, in jail pending trial on 59 charges that he compromised sensitive military documents while working at Los Alamos, was the subject of a very public investigation into whether he was the mole who gave China design secrets...
