...written statement, Lott apologized to "anybody who was offended" by his "poor choice of words." But the Washington Post reported that Lott had used almost identical words in praise of Thurmond's segregationist campaign during comments in Mississippi in 1980. A slip of the lip suddenly looked like a pattern and opened a public exhumation of Lott's long record of votes and statements hostile to the civil rights movement...
Could a virtual tailor change those dynamics? Using new software from Archetype Solutions, Lands' End launched a custom-fit service on its website last fall. Customers measure themselves, detail their style preferences and answer questions about their figure. The data yield a precise pattern that gets beamed to factories in Mexico or the Caribbean, and a pair of customized jeans arrives on the customer's doorstep three weeks later.

And some 72 percent felt Bush had not yet laid out convincing evidence of Saddam maintaining prohibited weapons programs.

Saddam let photographers shoot images of fruitless inspections that gradually took on a somewhat silly air and made Bush's hasty criticism look unfair. Iraq's President scored p.r. points in the Arab world for his willingness to endure humiliating intrusions even into his palaces. Although the U.N. teams studiously refused to disclose any findings, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said, in contrast to Bush, that "Iraq...
