...last Thursday, 18 young men and women stood chin to shoulder in a small office at George W. Bush's Austin headquarters. His policy shop was gathering for its second meeting of the day.

Muslim women in elegant gray chadors sat whispering in the same waiting room with stolid farmers and their wives, geezers and geezerettes next to minor Pooh-bahs and nabobs yakking on cell phones. Snatches of French and German drifted...
...most aggressive form of skin cancer, whose incidence has grown dramatically over the past 50 years. McCain's office reported last week that doctors found two cancerous lesions--one on his left temple and the other on his left arm. An earlier melanoma was removed from his left shoulder...
