...turning point came for Marsic after a Raelian friend loaned him "The Final Message," the book written by the movement?s French founder, Rael. Formerly known as Claude Vorilhon, Rael reportedly claims to have been taken up in a spaceship by a 4-foot-tall, green-skinned, long-haired, oval-eyed alien who directed him to write a book revealing the identities of the aliens as the creators of human beings.

Rumsfeld was ambitious, imagining himself in the Oval Office one day, and he saw in Cheney a loyal and effective aide but not a rival. When Nixon sent Rumsfeld to run the Cost of Living Council, Rumsfeld again brought Cheney along as his deputy.

Besides, Cheney was not sure he wanted to subject his family to the requisite media scrutiny. He was worried in particular, say friends, about the impact on his younger daughter Mary, who is openly...
...Some readers felt the cover photo of President Bush and Karl Rove enjoying a laugh in the Oval Office in April 2001 was misleading. "The President went out of his way to avoid any hint of gloating over the election results," wrote a reader from upstate New York, "so how did TIME depict him? Smiling in an old picture that gave exactly the opposite impression. Shame on you." A Georgian was just as disgusted: "Your snide attempt to convey that Bush was gloating was below the loosest journalistic standards. Unbelievable!" But an Arizonan thought the picture could...
