Secretary of State Colin Powell's hour-long indictment of Iraq Wednesday has not changed the political dynamic at the UN Security Council for a simple reason: While most members may be inclined to accept at least a significant proportion of the evidence offered in Powell's vivid multimedia presentation, they don't share the conclusion that Iraq represents a sufficient danger to its neighbors or the West to justify the risks of war.

It's a multimedia show that has already included a soul-baring session with Barbara Walters, a genuinely funny exchange with David Letterman and several print interviews, including, of course, this one. This week, expect to see him with Katie Couric (twice) and Larry King; next month he'll be the host of Saturday Night Live...
