...deal that would pave the way for unlawful immigrants working other jobs. Where Bush will come down is unknown. The President has supported a guest-worker plan but has not fully embraced the idea of making illegal immigrants citizens. "We're not exactly there together, but we've spoken about it," Kennedy says. Will negotiations be made tougher because their last major collaboration--No Child Left Behind--has proved a major disappointment to Kennedy? For this bill, Kennedy delivered Democratic votes in exchange for a promise of funding for education that he feels was not delivered. Kennedy aides say history...
John Ladd Jr., a thoughtful, soft-spoken rancher just outside Bisbee, gives new meaning to the word stoic. He is forced to work the equivalent of several weeks a year to repair, as best he can, all the damage done to his property by never-ending swarms of illegal aliens. "Patience is my forte," he says, "but it's getting lower." The 14,000-acre Ladd ranch, in his mother's family since the 1800s, is right on the border.

His honesty deserves respect, but we sure wish that our President had spoken those words to us citizens, as well as to the world. Ray Ross Montrose, Colorado, U.S. Sullivan's "Three huge errors" - overconfidence, narcissism and underestimating the importance of culture - actually boil down to one: American arrogance. The rest of the world disagreed with plans to invade Iraq, but the Bush...
...Card, known around the West Wing as "Secretary Card" for his service as Transportation Secretary to President George H.W. Bush, served for nearly triple the average tenure of a White House chief of staff. He is spoken of worshipfully by his underlings, and is one of the few White House officials that other aides will tell you they love. But in the lobbyist/strategist/pollster coterie, he was getting the bulk of the blame for the White House?s recent self-inflicted wounds...
