...Bush, a political newcomer, a businessman and an S.O.G. (Son of George) who was no F.O.B. (Friend of Bill) -- a decisive plus in Clinton-unfriendly Texas. He didn't even have to run a single negative ad. Republican Pete Wilson of California, an incumbent whose approval rating had sunk to 19% two years ago, still managed a 55% victory over Kathleen Brown. Illinois, Michigan and Ohio, big industrial states that were once Democratic the way Italy is Catholic, all elected Republicans to a second term. In the northeast, where Connecticut and Pennsylvania also went to the Republicans and Maine elected...
...uses their own (called FairPlay), and that’s the one iPods are equipped to deal with. That means that any of the twenty million and some-odd iPod owners looking to buy music online have only one option for most songs.

The case was dropped because the victims were not Australian; relatives were told the men had died when a prison ship carrying them was sunk. "We only found out in 1997 what really happened," says June Woods, 69, whose father Alfred Burgess was one of the victims. "The government should have held the Japanese responsible." Sixty years on, the sorrow of her loss is deepened by the sense of betrayal she feels. "It was definitely...
...Even before Wednesday's criminal charges, Taft-the great grandson of President William Howard Taft-was in no danger of winning a popularity contest. His approval numbers had sunk to 17%, the lowest of any governor in the U.S., and he was roundly chided for inept, ineffective leadership. Even without the ethical and legal charges hanging over his head, the two-term governor, who beat his badly underfunded Democratic opponent by five points in 2002, has only another 17 months to serve because of term limits...
