His cousin Anthony Everingham, 27, who did ride a bull tonight, agrees: "You've got to be switched on, get your mind thinking right, forget about the pain and the danger, and relax." If you can do that, "the rush is amazing," says Duggan, who, like Everingham, lives near Rocky and started riding poddy calves at 13. "The more you do it, the more you want to come back and back."

Unlike issues like abortion and gay marriage, the stem-cell debate is seen by few people as one of moral absolutes. While Americans overwhelmingly disagree with Bush's action, they give him credit for having...

More important, European officials are insisting that troops would be sent only once there is a cease-fire agreed to by Hizballah - a cease-fire that would, of course, be very different from the one envisaged by the Bush Administration, which is, in effect, seeking Hizballah's military surrender...
