...holding regular discussions on legislative strategy with key allies such as Tennessee Senator Bill Frist, Ohio Congressman Rob Portman and Missouri Representative Roy Blunt, a conservative leader close to Tom DeLay. Bush has a team of lobbyists and consultants--known as the Gang of Six--on call to remind uncooperative members of Congress where their campaign money comes from. And Bush has even weighed in on sensitive G.O.P. leadership decisions, including the selection of new committee chairmen who would shepherd Bush's legislative agenda, House aides and Bush advisers told TIME. Rather than choose favorites, Bush's aides have mostly...
...snowy day, a woman named Vianne Rocher (Binoche) and her daughter Anouk (Victoire Thivisol) arrive in the staid if picturesque French village of Lansquenet. Their intent is to open a chocolate shop, the sensual products of which are bound to remind the locals that life has more to offer than churchgoing and spousal abuse.

There is also a need for more foster and adoptive homes to accommodate the number of children unable to be cared...
...Peace with the Palestinians will be the central - perhaps the only - issue in the campaign. Netanyahu has denounced Barak for showing "weakness" in dealing with the Palestinians, and promises instead a return to his peace-through-strength policies. Barak is hoping to remind voters why they deserted Netanyahu in droves 18 months ago - precisely because he'd brought the peace process grinding to a halt. But Israeli voters have little enthusiasm for the peace process right now, even if a majority of them may ultimately accept it as a necessary evil. Early opinion polls suggest that no matter which personalities...
