Earlier this month Rice took her senior staff to the Wye River Conference Center on Maryland's Eastern Shore to plan the fall, including a presidential trip to the U.N. The former plantation was the site of Bill Clinton's negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians. A reprise looks very far off to the Bush team. Nevertheless, friends say, Rice, 51, is thriving in her higher-profile role, working from 6:30 a.m. until 7:30 or 8 at night, then treating herself to tennis, the Kennedy Center and brunches with friends on weekends. Roughly one Sunday a month...

They kept raising random toasts to nothing—over twenty...

...CHARLES RIVER—My favorite short story from my favorite author takes place on a bench on the Charles’ shore. I sought to experience summer genuinely. Sitting on a—the—bench, I took a break from editing others’ words. The tale is by and about literary legend Jorge Luis Borges. Sitting in Cambridge, Borges encounters a younger version of himself who imagines he has stumbled upon the Rhône’s shore in Geneva.

The Ministry of Research and Technology, which heads the development of Indonesia's tsunami-warning system, came under criticism for failing to raise a clear alert, but officials point out correctly that the interim system is still far from complete. And because the quake occurred so close to shore, even a flawless system would have been hard-pressed to disseminate a warning in the roughly 30 minutes it took the tsunami to reach the beach.
