...point of his Administration. That was where he firmly denounced the antigovernment mood that had so pervaded the country. It was an extraordinarily powerful statement, and in a way it pulled together what had been a rather diffuse rationale for his own political and policy efforts. He was as shaken by the tragedy as the country was, but instead of simply talking about lawlessness, he talked about the larger issue, that you cannot "love your country but despise your government." He put it in the framework of American political argument over the past 20 years in a way that...
...Prime Minister Ehud Barak as he prepared to announce a cease-fire that would halt five weeks of bloodshed. But in Jerusalem people heard another voice ring out--a terrible, too familiar boom. Police rushed through the narrow alleys of the Mazkoret Moshe neighborhood, hammering on doors to evacuate shaken elderly residents. Thick smoke filled the alleys. Black-hatted yeshiva students ducked around corners, calling out in Yiddish for their friends.

Next, the mixture is shaken and diluted again at one part per hundred--a process that is repeated a total of 200 times. Finally, sugar granules soaked in the resulting solution are enclosed in six capsules a box, good for two days of treatment...

Since Geisel's death at age 87 in 1991, his widow has taken control of an empire long considered a sleeping giant in the licensing realm, shaken it awake and issued strict marching orders. And oh, the places Seuss is going! Even as we speak, the Cat in the Hat is ushering children through an elaborate ride at Seuss Landing, the 110-acre theme park that opened last year at Universal's Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Fla. The great green spoilsport comes to life in Ron Howard...
