...multimillionaire publisher has yet to launch the kind of televised air assault against Bush that he did against Bob Dole in 1996, but last week he started warming to the task.

On Thursday night Forbes will almost certainly inform debate watchers that Bush tried to raise some taxes in Texas, that he allowed spending there to increase "a whopping 36%" and that he isn't committed to the fight against abortion--an opinion that social conservatives Gary Bauer...

Early opponents likewise suggested that Miriam had conceived Jesus with a Roman soldier, Panthera. His childhood may well have been clouded by questions about his paternity...
...strange juxtaposition of the global economy, their hard work, which provides the resources to help buy some of the most lethal weapons on earth, also produces baubles for the delicate fingers of the world's brides in the most romantic moments of their life. Love and war have often been conjoined, but rarely like this...
