...late August in Washington, and I'm miserable. Uncharacteristically miserable. I used to love August in Washington. The heat? I love the heat. The crowds? There are no crowds. Washington is empty. Congress is gone. The President is at the ranch. The Supreme Court is shut down. There are seven people left in the city, and our job is to make sure that the furniture doesn't get stolen while nobody's home. There's no traffic. You can park anywhere. It's perfect. It's paradise. Except for one thing...
...only one seeing that trend. In Philadelphia the Renfrew Center Foundation, which specializes in treating eating disorders, reported a 25% jump in patients older than 35 over the past two years; today those women account for nearly a quarter of its patients. At the Remuda Ranch in Wickenburg, Ariz., the percentage of patients 40 or older has nearly quadrupled, from 3% in 1990 to more than 11% last year...
...Tuesday's county commission meeting Meadows pushed for passage of a new ordinance to limit traffic, parking and marching on several rural roads near the President's ranch.

Two illegal immigrants from El Salvador took possession last week of a 70-acre Arizona ranch as part of a civil judgment against a vigilante leader who allegedly threatened them with a gun when he caught them sneaking into the U.S. in March 2003. The immigrants said the ordeal left them with posttraumatic stress, a condition that seems to be spreading fast on the Mexico-U.S. boundary. To wit: Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano declared a state of emergency last week because, she said, "the Federal Government has failed" to secure...
LANCE ARMSTRONG and PRESIDENT BUSH have a lot in common. Both are Texans and avid cyclists with at least a casual interest in politics. The seven-time Tour de France winner and the leader of the free world shared the trail last weekend at Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. White House press secretary Trent Duffy wouldn't say whether the pair discussed politics (Armstrong opposes the Iraq war and wants more spending on cancer research), but at the end of a two-hour, 17-mile spin, Bush gave Armstrong, whom he described as "a good rider," a T shirt...
