...interesting, just for the fun and justice of it, to subject Rumsfeld to four hours in a stress position," it sounds as though Klein, if he had been responsible for gathering information to protect millions of Americans, would have made the same choices Rumsfeld did.

...made near Pittsburgh, Pa., is set in an "inbred mining town" called Harmony, where, years before, a nut in a miner's suit and mask killed a bunch of high school kids with appropriate tools, mainly a pickax. Now he, or a copycat, is again bloodily reducing the population - as if the Rust Belt didn't have enough problems. The principles here are sheriff Axel Palmer (Kerr Smith), his wife Sarah (horror honey Jaime King) and the mine owner's son Tom Hanniger (Jensen Ackles), who was Sarah's beau back in the previously awful day.

Andrew Wyeth, who died today at 91 at his home in Chadds Ford, Pa., was the great problem of American modern art.

...conflict, summoning all leaders of goodwill to the task--perhaps suggesting they convene in Washington to declare their common intent. He will need to announce a series of mechanisms for achieving it, including: resumption of Israeli-Palestinian final-status negotiations, rebuilding of the West Bank and Gaza economies and PA security capabilities, initiation of U.S.-sponsored direct negotiations between Israel and Syria, and operationalizing the Arab League peace initiative. And he should put this into the even larger context of his efforts to end the war in Iraq, engage Iran and construct a new regional security architecture...
