...local." In Dubya's case, as local as your PC. On Monday, the Bush camp announced that it will be targeting web sites likely to be used by GOP primary voters in Iowa and New Hampshire, and in the coming weeks will festoon them with banner ads.

When dozens of Belgian schoolchildren fell sick after drinking Coke products last June, Ivester maintained what looked like an arrogant silence for more than a week before traveling to Belgium to apologize.
