...predicate for real diplomatic progress. This President is not one to announce a change of course, since that would imply a defective previous course. A moderate turn, if one is coming, will be inferred from straws in the wind. As for Cheney and Rumsfeld, both were complicit in rose-petal scenarios in the first term. It stands to reason that each may be less susceptible to bellicose fantasies floated by Utopian underlings...
...already overtaken Italy. And according to a National Health Service (nhs) report published last year, Britain has the unfortunate distinction of leading Europe in binge drinking, defined as consuming the equivalent of a bottle of wine on a single occasion. A 2003 government report found that consumption in Britain rose 50% between 1971 and 2001 and that 8.6 million of England's 40 million adults drink more than the government guidelines of up to four units of alcohol (equivalent to two pints of lager) a day for men and three units for women. Another report showed that deaths from chronic...
...DIED. ROSE MARY WOODS, 87, doggedly loyal secretary to President Richard Nixon who famously took part of the blame for an 181/2-min. gap in a tape recording of a conversation between Nixon and his chief of staff, H.R.

...death toll from the Asian tsunami rose sharply last week when Indonesia's Health Ministry moved 50,000 of the people on its missing list to the fatalities column, bringing the total there to 166,320. Although the waves have long receded, the tsunami still threatens. For survivors in crowded, unsanitary refugee camps, normally treatable illnesses such as cholera, dysentery, malaria and measles can quickly become mass murderers. So great is the danger that Dr. David Nabarro, the World Health Organization's (WHO) head of crisis operations, initially warned that the death toll from disease could rival that...
...that is what an improvement in political thinking means?is not the kind of reform many people expected from Hu. Although his rise to power betrayed little of his political leanings, Hu had left hints that he was more open to political change than his predecessor, Jiang Zemin. He rose through the ranks of the Party's more liberal organs, such as the Communist Youth League, helped terminate a crackdown on intellectuals in the early 1980s, and urged high-ranking cadres to study foreign political systems in the 1990s. Since assuming China's top posts?Hu replaced Jiang as Party...
