Bush's aides sputter at the suggestion that he has been transformed by Sept. 11. "It's not like his IQ rose 50 points just because the World Trade Center was attacked," says an annoyed adviser.

The President who wanted to go it alone in the world--and had nothing but disdain for "nation building"--now says "we should not simply leave after a military objective has been achieved," and sees a role for the U.N. in "the stabilization of" a new government in postwar Afghanistan...

Palazzo, a junior, injured his hamstring prior to the game. Because of Palazzo’s absence, Rose took to the air and began with a strong passing game, completing 10 of his 11 pass attempts and setting up two Staph TDs from the one yard line. Harvard initially appeared to be in complete control, leading 14-3 early in the second quarter...
