...hope to set the stage for legislation that would both crack down on illegal entry, which appeals to conservatives, and make it easier for undocumented people to become guest workers, which tends to appeal to Hispanic voters. G.O.P. House members who fear that Bush's guest-worker plan could tear the party apart say Administration officials have recently assured them that the White House would support a separate border-security bill first rather than insist on a linked package. Doing so could make it harder for Bush to later get the guest-worker program, which he once thought would give...
...Unit’s Young Buck acts like the guy at the party who tries to be a little bit tougher than everybody else, unaware that Three 6 Mafia are the toughest of them all. After all, their only other mainstream hit was “Tear Da Club Up”, a pre-Lil’ Jon-era stomp that out-crunked all of crunk up till that point...

By Wednesday, after five nights of violence, more than three dozen arrests had been made...
...Squid with Backbone Your notebook item "Catch of the Century" reported on the hunt and temporary capture of an 8-m-long giant squid [Oct. 10]. You described how the squid finally freed itself by tearing off one of its 5.5-m-long tentacles, leaving it behind on the hook that had impaled it. Giant squids may not be the most likable of creatures, but do they deserve such treatment? I think I would be somewhat "active and aggressive" too if I were forced to tear off my own limb while scientists sat back, casually making their observations. Fergus Mahon...
