KLEIN MADE ROMNEY OUT TO BE MORE dishonest and empty at his core than his rivals. All the candidates try to be all things???or at least most things???to all audiences. While Klein made some excellent observations, he failed to back up his assertion that Romney's campaign is uniquely deceptive. With "A Tale of Two Romneys," we got the best and the worst of Klein. Bruce Rider, GRAPEVINE, TEXAS...
...would have done things??"differently," said U.S. military spokesman Major General William B. Caldwell IV, referring to the appalling scene at Saddam's hanging. Whoever videoed the event has brought into our homes the ultimate reality of U.S. and British foreign policy in action, and it would have been no less brutal if done "differently." There is no dignity at the end of a rope at any time. Standing defiantly in the wreckage they have brought about, President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair--through their actions and inaction, words and silence--stand not apart from but shoulder to shoulder...
...the toughest things??I do as a physician is deal with uncertainty. Doctors are often only as good as their diagnostic tests, and those tests aren't perfect.

Natural disasters are terrible things??but what ultimately defines us is not what happens to us but how we react. After the tsunami hit, the world donated billions of dollars; Americans alone gave $1.6 billion, more than to any other disaster overseas. And four months after Hurricane Katrina, the donations approach $3 billion. This got me to thinking about the nature of giving, and what makes for temporary relief vs. lasting change. Sudden disasters get the big headlines, but day after day other tragedies of avoidable dimensions unfold: the one child who dies of malaria in Africa every 29 seconds...
Geneen was then building ITT into the world's biggest conglomerate; in Europe the firm's satellite companies sold life insurance and made food products, auto parts and construction materials, among many other things???including a few cosmetics. Bergerac helped negotiate about 100 acquisitions of companies for ITT. In 1971, at the age of 39, he was promoted to the job of running all ITT European operations from a base in Brussels. By encouraging still more acquisitions and spurring the companies' internal growth, he doubled European sales during the next three years to $5 billion. He was a prime candidate...
