Rival campaigns immediately scrambled to prove that Dean's breakthrough meant little. "Nobody has ever doubted the intensity of Dean's support," says Jim Jordan, campaign manager for Kerry. "The question is, Can he broaden it?" Dean, meanwhile, is quick to downplay the notion that his rise is only a cybersurge: "The Internet is a tool, not a campaign platform...
...talk until they're back. "We're blocked," he says. "We can't move forward with our investigations." There's also concern that the security-first, individual rights- second posture the U.S. is adopting at Guantánamo has snared innocent people who have no way in detention to prove their innocence - three boys under 16 and some men over 70 have been held for over a year - and is undercutting the stature of the U.S. to lead a global fight against terror...

The steeple he had hoped to use was unfinished, and he decided he could prove his case just as easily with a wired kite. It would rise even higher in the sky. So why did he do it on the sly? Joseph Priestley, the British chemist and a Franklin crony, later explained, "... dreading the ridicule which too commonly attends unsuccessful attempts in science, he communicated...
