...first they seemed to be an odd pair-the introspective President, a cold-minded engineer with a passion to get every detail right, and the Bunyanesque extravert (the front license plate of his limousine on Inauguration Day proclaimed BERT; the rear one, LANCE), who cheerfully mangled facts in his haste to paint the big picture. But there were deep bonds between the two opposites. At 46, Lance was closer in age to the President, who is 52, than most of the young Georgians who made up the White House's inner circle.

(The earlier sketch was sent out to 160,000 gun and ammunition dealers across the country; the sketch is taped on the dashboards of many police patrol cars.) Tommy Z believes he can identify the assailant...
...search should be for where biology pushes mankind and where man can resist the push." He also admits that "genetic constraints evolved during the millions of years of prehistory, under conditions that to a large extent no longer exist." It would be foolish, he says, to rear as many healthy children as possible in today's crowded world, no matter what the genetic push...
