...Words In his column "Stop trying to spin the Iraq War" [July 25], Joe Klein wrote that the Rove-Plame-Wilson affair illuminated "a signature disgrace of the Bush presidency: its tendency to treat the war in Iraq as an issue to be spun, rather than a life-and-death struggle to be won." Klein should be applauded for reminding Americans that Bush's top priority is to protect and enhance his and his party's image. Nearly every issue is molded along political-party lines and spun. When will Americans finally stand up and demand that this Administration...

Only hours before the docking, NASA announced that the entire shuttle fleet was being grounded again, after evidence that four pieces of insulating foam--the largest the size of a skateboard--had spun off the ship's external fuel tank during lift-off, just the kind of debris that damaged Columbia's wing and doomed the ship. Only one small piece may have struck the shuttle this time, glancing off a wing with so little force it didn't register on impact sensors. But a camera mounted on the shuttle's 50-ft. arm as well as photos taken from...
...Well, there is some cause for concern, but it remains minimal. And not as a result of the large piece of foam that spun off relatively safely. The photographic inspection has revealed three divots on the underside of the craft, one of which is 1.5 inches long, adjacent to the wheel-well where the front landing gear is stored. If superheated gases stream into that open space during reentry, it can create a kind of vapor bomb inside the ship. But the photography suggests the divot isn't deep enough to cause that danger. So far, it looks like they...
