...United States has two of the most centrist political parties in the democratic world. It rarely matters who wins. Things turn out all right regardless. Not this time. This time there is a war on. And when there is a war on, particularly a war with so much at stake, elections matter...
...codes and "special reports." Tony DiBiasio Surprise, Arizona, U.S. President Bush is right on target. Terrorists are our biggest threat. Forget worrying about the economy. That won't matter if we allow terrorists to destroy our nation. Rosemary Stock Strongsville, Ohio, U.S. Highly sensitive information about possible terrorist attacks, regardless of the public interest, should be revealed only on a need-to-know basis.

...Regardless of who wins, the UFJ merger and Daiei restructuring are being hailed as progress for the Japanese economy. Even if the creation of the world's biggest bank proves as impractical and unprofitable as megamergers often turn out to be, it's likely to yield some fortuitous by-products: the disappearance of both Japan's worst basket-case bank and its most notorious corporate zombie.

While custody laws vary widely by state, the trend...
...silver. Instead of quietly turning away from the controversy, Kitajima fought back, albeit in an understated way: "The questions got me slightly angry," he told reporters, noting that he had never been warned about any prohibited kicks in previous international competitions. "But I don't take them seriously." Regardless, Piersol's griping was somewhat undercut later in the week when the Texan was briefly disqualified for a questionable turn in the 200-m backstroke, before his gold was reinstated 20 minutes later. But Kitajima's ultimate revenge came a couple days after his 100-m triumph, when he cruised...
