...served members of the Bush campaign beautifully, and not just by taking the focus off the turmoil in Iraq. It fed their story line that they are once again fighting as outsiders.

But to the extent that the Republicans could turn the Liberal Media into the Establishment enemy, liken themselves to Thomas Paine and Martin Luther, nail their charges to the door, distribute their pamphlets, rally their faithful, it was in the interest of giving their...
BUSH OUGHT TO REMEMBER THE WORDS of H.L. Mencken: "For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat and wrong." All of Bush's simple solutions to our country's problems have been, invariably, wrong. I do not want as President an amiable fellow who does not accept that politics is about compromise.

We learn that William has inherited his business (and his home office) from his father; he has never lived outside these confines. We know from dozens of other movies that each of these characters is destined to bloom. What we can't guess is how the narrative is going to encourage...
...year (or were propped up by generous incentives), those of the crossover clan were up a sizzling 18.5% over 2003. Characteristic of the breed are versatile models like the all-new 2005 Chevrolet Equinox, powered by a 3.4L V-6 engine, with optional all-wheel drive and a neat, flexible seating configuration: the rear seats slide on an 8-in. track for extra legroom or more cargo space. Starting at $21,560, the Equinox stacks up competitively against such rivals as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Volvo, meanwhile, just launched an all-new wagon, the V50, featuring...
