...said Gore wanted to count and count until he got the result he wants--but Gore firmly believes he won Florida (and thus the presidency). And the Vice President's camp was right when it said Bush was trying to short-circuit the recount and hang on to his slender victory--because he too is convinced the job is rightfully his. Which is why, amid the mind-boggling array of court filings and counterfilings and dueling press conferences, there was really only one narrative line worth following: Bush's attempts (aided by the Democrats' favorite new villainess, Harris) to shut...
...audibly enamored of bipartisanship had been so quick to jerk a chin toward the Gore campaign as an orchestrator of the leak. But if the Republicans protested a little too much (Arlen Specter, we're looking at you and your post-election "hunch"), George W. still has the same slender edge in the national polls, three-quarters of the polled say the DUI is irrelevant, and both Jeb and his interlocutors much preferred to talk about Sunshine State...

The Haros family income, which rests on the mother's $5.35-an-hour job at a local candy plant, is low enough to qualify him for Medicaid. But for reasons all too common in Bush's state, Ray receives nothing from the federal and state insurer of the poor.

...world, scientists have found that roads are the single best (but not infallible) predictor of tropical deforestation. In the Brazilian Amazon, roughly 75% of the deforestation that has taken place has occurred within 50 km of a paved road. In the 26 years after the 1965 paving of the slender highway between the Amazon city of Bel?m and Bras?lia, 58% of the forests disappeared in a 100-km swath on either side of the road. The paving of 1,460 km of highway BR-364 between the city of Cuiab? in Mato Grosso and Porto Velho in Rond?nia caused...
