...Rolls-Royce diesel engine, nearly the size of a Smart car, sits on a support stand. Probably built about 15 years ago to power a British military fighting vehicle, it has run out of life. Within two days, it will be completely dismantled by a two-person crew, and each piece - every bolt, nut, spring and valve - will be vetted to see which ones are salvageable. Most will pass the test: 95% will be cleaned or otherwise refurbished. Then, with a handful of new parts added to the mix, the engine will be reassembled. After it's passed strict tests...
...Clinton has been more confiding about her faith in recent months, in part because she is in an unexpected footrace for the churchgoing vote. According to a poll for TIME by Pulsar Research, Obama is viewed as a person of strong religious faith by three times as many Republicans as Clinton is, and he reaps political benefits as a result. His approval ratings in red states match Giuliani's, and while Clinton's unfavorable ratings among conservative Protestants are at 65%, Obama's hover...
...Mara Vanderslice would know, since she was the person nominally in charge of shaping his religious identity.

She went off to Earlham College in Indiana, an earnest Quaker school with a dry campus where students took themselves and their role in the world seriously. A semester abroad in Central America launched her on a spiritual journey, which led to her baptism by full...
...When it comes to the Republican field, Mitt Romney ranks far above the rest of the pack. Fully 26% of all voters think Romney is a person of strong religious faith, and among Republicans that number rises to 32%. What should worry Republicans, however, is that Romney's numbers are nearly double the closest Republican and still far below George W. Bush's in 2004. They also suggest an opening for Fred Thompson, who is expected the enter the race within weeks. James Dobson may have declared on his radio show that Thompson isn't a Christian, but given...
...would a rational well phone-equipped person consider dropping a perfectly good device and plunking down $599 (because a 4 gig model is out of the question if an 8 gig model is available) for a new phone? With analysts estimating over 500,000 phones sold just last weekend, perhaps search term data could help us figure out why we've gone iPhone crazy...
