...There are senior officials within the campaign - notably, outside advisers say, media consultant Mandy Grunwald and adviser Harold Ickes - who have been worried for months that Clinton was missing the fundamental shift in the electorate. However, their entreaties have gone nowhere. Bill and Hillary Clinton have put enormous faith in Penn, and given him veto power, aides say, over every word that goes into her television ads and every line in her mailers. "He had her and the President's trust very deeply," says one adviser who is close to the campaign. Adds another: "He's a one-man shop...
...similar survey of American doctors found that 60% of respondents believed that using placebos was a good way to deduce whether a patient had a "real" problem or was just faking it. In the current study, 80% of doctors disagreed with that statement. "That's a significant shift in doctors' thinking in a relatively short time," says lead author Rachel Sherman, a fourth-year medical student at the University of Chicago. Today, few doctors balk when patients say they have pain but show nothing abnormal in scans. "Physicians in this survey believe the mind and the body are inherently interconnected...
...base the least. While McCain spoke Thursday morning, Thompson did interviews with talk radio hosts who had gathered in Des Moines at the behest of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a group that supports a crackdown on illegal immigration.

Giuliani hopes to shift the focus back to September 11, 2001, when he led New York City out of the smoky ruins of the World Trade Center. Thompson has pinned his campaign to his own charismatic tough-guy appeal, as the man ready to face both foreign enemies and domestic threats like immigration. "I would...
...Canadian banks predict commodity prices will fall more as the U.S. economy cools, landing the loonie somewhere around 95 U.S. cents at the end of 2008. But few predict a return to the low, low loonie levels that Canadians knew just one year ago, and that means the structural shift in Canada's economy - with growing differences between sectors and between geographic regions - seems set to continue. "It's almost like a tale of two economies," says Douglas Porter, deputy chief economist at BMO Capital Markets, "and I think that stark divergence will continue...
