...since, despite complaints about the euro, there have been no such drastic side effects. From retail sales to savings patterns, the data appears normal. "There are no indicators that something terrible happened," says Enrico Giovannini, the former head of the Italian statistics office who now works at the O.E.C.D. in Paris...
...shifting, the rancor of the public fight fading. Hillary Clinton has called abortion "a sad, even tragic choice to many, many women" and talks about improving education and access to birth control so that abortion becomes a right most women never have to exercise. On the Republican side, Rudy Giuliani is pro-choice, Mitt Romney used to be, and John McCain's pro-life record doesn't keep social conservatives from viewing him with some suspicion. Other issues, whether war and peace or gay marriage and stem cells, may be the prime motivators in this election; and in the meantime...
...choice groups. They point out that while counselors at crisis pregnancy centers lay out the physical and psychological risks associated with abortion, they don't mention that the risk of death in childbirth is 12 times as high and that many women who get abortions experience only relief.

It is this discussion of risk that most enrages defenders of abortion rights, especially doctors who routinely see terrified women who come in for an abortion...
...G.O.P. side, McCain already has 21 of the biggest bundlers from the last Bush campaign, more than any other Republican hopeful. But Barry Wynn, a former Bush Pioneer and finance chair of his 2004 campaign, is helping Rudy Giuliani raise money in South Carolina. Giuliani's leadership post-9/11 was, of course, a factor in Wynn's choice. As for Rudy being a nontraditional Republican, for Wynn, that's exactly the point: "We need to rebuild the brand." Wynn committed after both Romney and McCain came calling. "Oh, I have had my lunches. And my breakfasts," he says with...
