...answer, say top Bush aides, is yes. But the fight the President seeks is not the one he will face, and almost certainly win, over Bolton's nomination.

He has since partially recovered, rediscovered his faith, and reaffirmed his will to live. I like that, indeed...

Kerik never warned the Bush Administration about a potential nanny issue, a senior official says. "He's a workaholic. These are things he doesn't concentrate on," says Giuliani.
