...This is the new reality for white collar criminals. When the stock-market bubble burst five years ago, the wave of corporate frauds that came to light inflamed the public. Since then, bruised investors have been demanding amends. Twenty years ago, a similar rash of Wall Street fraud resulted in only a few honchos like Michael Milken going to prison, and spending less than two years there. Now the pendulum has swung the other direction. In addition to jail time, Kozlowski and Swartz must pay a total of $134 million in restitution; in addition, Kozlowski was fined $70 million, Swartz...

Statewide curriculum standards for science are a relatively new target for Darwin doubters, one that has a broader impact than local school-board decisions. In addition, by working at the state level, intelligent-design advocates can largely avoid dealing with unpolished local activists who make rash religious statements that don't hold up in court.

"For Reid to say that he is acceptable because we confirmed him as Attorney General is wrongheaded," says Robert Borosage of the Campaign for America's Future. Tom Matzzie of MoveOn.org insists, "Gonzales should not be a Supreme Court Justice." Still, some party vets contend that Democrats will ultimately back Gonzales, seeing him as a more moderate choice than others Bush could name. "When push comes to shove," says Democratic strategist Harold Ickes, "I think Democrats will find...
