...with TIME's choice of Bush. Dubya's footprints have been large; it is a pity they have mostly been going backward. The President is no revolutionary but a reactionary pushing against the progressive tide. Americans feel poorer, less safe and less free than four years ago. Despite a narrow election victory in threatening times, Bush tells himself he has a mandate to shake things up. Look out, America. Look out, world! Jeff Bennetzen Bogart, Georgia, U.S. Bush has made some hard choices during his four years, some of the toughest a President has had to make. He sticks...

Walker called the sweeps "unproductive" and said that if they are to continue, national guidelines are urgently needed...
...coming to U.S. dealers in May. Mercedes will unveil its smallest import, a wagonlike "sport tourer" dubbed the Baby Benz, expected to start around $25,000. And get this: DaimlerChrysler will officially launch in the U.S. the Smart brand that has been such a hit on Europe's narrow roads--showing off models like the Fortwo, a two-seat runt you could practically stuff into a Hummer. Mercedes-Benz, which has sold Smart cars for DaimlerChrysler in Canada since last fall, aims to have a model at U.S. dealerships by 2006, marketed to parking-challenged urban drivers...
