...submarine Kursk, Saturday, Aug. 12, was to be a day of pride and triumph. The vessel, one of the Russian navy's newest and most powerful cruise-missile submarines, was at periscope depth during the second day of a 30-ship exercise in the Barents Sea, about 90 miles northeast of Murmansk. These were the biggest Russian naval maneuvers in several years, and it was a rare opportunity for Lyachin to put his boat through its paces with a full-scale task force--so rare that five high-ranking Northern Fleet staff officers were aboard to observe the exercise...
...trust people to respond honestly. The latest TIME/CNN poll asked voters if Lieberman's Judaism will "make people in your area" more likely or less likely to vote for the Democratic ticket.

...Gephardt, and yet doesn't leave Gore too alone at the top with a neophyte like Bayh or recent contender Edwards.Dick Cheney doesn't seriously out-heft Lieberman. Qualifications-wise, that is. He exudes ethics more than charisma, and isn't an oratorical superstar. He's from the Northeast, one of the few regions Gore can be confident of winning. He has no particular constituency, no ideological sweet spot; just news-watchers who vaguely admire him. But barring a national reaction to Lieberman's intense (and to the heartland, probably eyebrow-raising) religious habits and persuasion, Lieberman, like Cheney, probably...
