...into Kuwait and should be ready to roll by early April. The Bush war plan is predicated on momentum; slowing down wasn't part of the program. But the pause imposed by last week's reversals may prove a godsend, allowing the allies to muster extra firepower and more robust supply lines and giving soldiers a chance for a little shut...
There are also plenty of problems our government needs to solve to ensure robust, long-term economic performance before it passes another tax cut. The continual degradation of our natural resources as a result of lax environmental protection will ultimately have very adverse consequences on our economic growth. Or consider the highly unequal nature of opportunity for America’s children.

Views of the U.S. will improve further if the Bush administration really does promote democracy and withdraws from Iraq quickly. Equally important would be a robust effort to achieve a fair settlement of the 55-year-old Arab-Israeli conflict and play midwife to a sovereign Palestinian state...

Not to give anything away, but her health seemed somewhat less than robust at the end of the film...
...mesh. Each bead works like a tiny solar cell, turning light into electricity. And the material not only produces energy cleanly, but the silicon used is itself a waste product of the microchip industry. The flexible solar cells come into production next year. "The new material is far more robust than normal glass-based solar cells," says Dan Davies, an engineer at Solar Century, a London-based renewable energy company, "and it could also lead to a new flexibility in building design or be incorporated into consumer electronics." The University of Waterloo in Canada is anxious to use Spheral solar...
