...Then there's Stephen Friedman, the former head of Goldman Sachs. Widely considered a shoo-in to replace Lindsay, his appointment hit a snag this week while the White House worked through a slew of undisclosed "personal and professional issues." When President Bush formally named Friedman to replace Lindsay Thursday afternoon, it was only after days of speculation that Friedman's reputation for deficit phobia - he served as a director of the Concord Coalition, a bipartisan group whose members oppose federal budget deficits - might have caught up with him. The White House maintained throughout the delay that they were only...
...taxis, something curious is happening. A new construction site has sprung up just outside the grounds of the presidential palace, with a formidable wall of soil-filled shipping containers stacked two levels high. The swarms of Afghan laborers say they don't know what they're building. American engineers shoo away anyone who asks about it.

Even those that could be refloated soon returned to shore, oblivious to the frantically splashing rescuers trying to shoo them off. By evening, all the whales--mostly females, some of them pregnant--were dead...
...ourselves about the prospects come September. "Friends" is probably a shoo-in for comedy, as is Jennifer Aniston (who's certainly deserving enough) for best actress. "The West Wing," which had its weakest season to date, will probably win the drama category, because it has for the last two years. True, "Six Feet Under" got more nominations, but the fact remains that Emmy voters do not like to recognize cable series, period. "Six Feet Under's" situation is especially unusual this year, because it was actually nominated for two seasons in one year: season one, which ran last summer...
