...cash owes more to who he is than to what he's done--and more specifically, to who his father is and what the Bush brand has come to mean. For many in the Governor's camp, the race is about restoring a moral bearing to politics, a return to the days when people (named Bush) who were groomed for high office brought credit and honor to it. Among Bush supporters there are the revenge camp, which wants to take back the White House from the Great Pretender, and the redemption camp--those who ran off with Clinton...
...Bonn was an expression of postwar trauma (and an acknowledgment of the difficulties of operating in isolated West Berlin). "Chancellor Konrad Adenauer made clear after the war that the reason they chose Bonn was precisely because they were looking for a city without a history," says Wallace. The return to Berlin, its reviled wall now shattered into millions of sobering souvenirs, is a sign then that after the horrors of Nazism and the Cold War, Germany is finally ready to reconnect with its history.

...their anger over the past two months. The Russians have been furious both about attacks on their own personnel and over the continuing ethnic cleansing targeted against the province?s dwindling Serb population. "If there?s a concerted attack on the Russian forces in Kosovo now, they?ll likely return fire with interest," says Meier. And while that might be exactly what KLA hard-liners want, it could make the Kosovo peacekeeping mission a political nightmare for NATO. Russian defense and foreign ministry statements warned last Friday that Moscow may consider pulling out of KFOR. But that wouldn...
