...Doha, Bush put Tenet in charge of the WMD hunt. Tenet in turn hired a former U.N. weapons inspector, David Kay, to run the search, but Tenet and Kay have a lot of ground to make up fast. Tenet, sources say, recently conceded to the House panel that the CIA should have done more to warn that finding WMD could be a drawn-out process. Tenet got a reprieve last week when an Iraqi scientist who had hidden parts and documents for nuclear-weapons production in his backyard for 12 years came forward. Tenet's usually behind-the-scenes...
Indecent Proposal Add this to the already bloated annals of fat-cat pay: a U.S. arbitration panel last week upheld a $23.6 million severance payout for Jean-Marie Messier, the ousted CEO of Vivendi Universal. Jean-René Fourtou, Messier's successor, described the payout as "indecent" and promised to contest the decision. He has little room for maneuver: the payout was written into a U.S. contract agreed to last July by two Vivendi directors, Marc Viénot and Edgar Bronfman Jr., to persuade Messier to depart quickly and quietly. The full board rejected the contract days later, after...
Purported physical evidence of the life of Jesus, a stone burial box thought to have held the remains of Jesus' brother James, has been declared a fake by the Israel Antiquities Authority.

Hershel Shanks, editor of the Biblical Archaeology Review and a proponent of the tomb's authenticity, says he's not convinced. Adds Harvard paleographer Frank Cross: "If this is a forgery, the forger...
...guessing the Ad Board isn’t located in a dungeon-courtroom ten floors below University Hall, but its proceedings are cloaked in secrecy, just like the Wizengamot’s. Like evildoers in Cambridge, Harry stands with one advocate before a panel of various high-ranking wizards, who vote on whether to kick him out or not. Luckily the secretive proceedings go Harry?...
...Bush might fight where he will follow. That leaves Blair the hard slog of Labour's core mission: fixing the public services. Some improvements are beginning to show; the best British 15-year-olds now perform close to the top of international league tables, and last week a doctors' panel noted big gains in the speed of getting anti-clotting drugs to heart-attack patients, something the government had targeted. However, serious new money has started flowing to schools and hospitals only in the last two years, not enough to redress two decades of relative stinginess; even now British health...
