...nastiest free-for-alls is in Ohio, where Republican Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton and Democratic Cuyahoga County judge Janet Burnside are locked in a close battle for Stratton's seat. On Stratton's side are doctors who feel she is more likely to keep malpractice awards low. The physicians have been passing out mock "prescription pads" in their offices advising patients to vote for her. On the other side, Citizens for an Independent Court, a union-and lawyer-backed political action committee, has attacked Stratton with an ad that contrasts men laughing in a limousine--depicted as "their side"--with...
...faced this threat before, in 1991, when it battled Iraqi forces to expel Iraq from Kuwait; that time Baghdad kept its nastiest weapons sheathed. But the Iraqis have never confronted what the U.S. military has in store for them should war come again. The last conflict introduced the world to the "smart" bomb, when Gulf War commanders narrated videotapes showing precision-guided munitions taking out discrete buildings they had targeted. Today's smart bombs make the old ones look dim-witted. What's more, newer smart bombs are far cheaper and easier to use, so there would...
...Germany, in the early 1960s with a band whose front line is Lennon-McCartney-Harrison because Lennon, in his wisdom, had decided that he would put at risk his dominance to build the strongest group.

John McCain's crusade for campaign-finance reform has attracted plenty of well-wishers over the years, but his Republican colleagues in the Senate have not often been among them. His attempt to get the bill past a G.O.P. filibuster in 1999 set off one of the nastiest Senate confrontations in recent memory, as members of his own party ganged up to smother his reform. So it was both a good omen and a bit of a surprise that last week, as McCain launched yet another attempt, the bouquet of flowers he received came not just from a Republican...
