...write about the political ineptitude of the White House. Of course, it is not without precedent for us to deal with a U.S. President who is politically wounded."

For good reason: higher temperatures and longer immersions can bring on heatstroke, as the body vainly tries to maintain the normal internal temperature...
...necessarily tearing the First Amendment to tatters, neither are "American courts on a rampage" against the press, as former CBS Correspondent Daniel Schorr argues. Critics often lament court decisions for their "chilling effect"-a mealy phrase that should have gone out with the McCarthy era, when the normal good sense of timorous people was too easily chilled...
