...unveiled in May, delivering a ringing speech in support of John Kerry at the Democratic National Convention in July, signing copies of his book all over the world this summer--couldn't help noticing that he was full of energy and looking mighty svelte. The ex-President was thin--not just for the famously chubby Clinton--but thin by anyone's standard. How did he do it? He had been on the South Beach diet, he told friends, and was getting plenty of exercise. "I'm eating better and working out hard," he said...

Over seven decades of work at Harvard University and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Whipple also discovered that meteors do not come from far-flung stars, but the Earth's solar system. He was an inventor as well. Anticipating space flight, he invented in 1946 a thin outer skin of metal known as a meteor bumper or Whipple shield, intended to protect spacecraft from high-speed particles. The device is still in use today...

He also released a string of hit singles, including Hard Times (the Slop...

Osama bin Laden is still at large, terrorism alerts continue on a regular basis (indicating we are no safer than we were before 9/11), our military is stretched thin, our intelligence services remain unreformed, gas prices have reached record highs, and our economy is limping. I can't see any positive results that have come out of the Bush Administration since the fall of the Taliban. Results do matter, but the Republicans have failed to produce any good ones. DAVID...
