But earlier this year, he achieved the biggest political coup of his career in securing President Bush's backing for Israel's right to keep its West Bank settlement blocs. President Bush sought to sugar-coat his historic reversal of almost four decades of U.S. foreign policy proclaiming the settlements an obstacle to peace by pointing out that deals such as Taba would have left them in Israeli hands - perhaps, but only on the basis of a comprehensive agreement reached with the Palestinian leadership...
...eight times a day, Abbott researchers have come up with a less painful alternative-- a patch called the Navigator, which is embedded with a wireless transmitter that can read glucose levels once a minute and works for three days at a time before needing to be changed. The continuous sugar-level readings are sent to a small receiver kept in a pocket or purse, and originate from the patch's hairlike filament that penetrates ever so slightly beneath the skin.

Bush had ignored a direct order to get a physical and that his superiors were pressured to "sugar coat" his evaluation. No one talked much about whether the documents could have come from a 1970s-era typewriter, and there was no strident dissent. But, says Josh Howard, the show's executive producer, "We pressed the producer on 'How do you know they're authentic?'" And the producer...
