...third rationale: strategic. East Timor, said Berger, is nothing more than "a humanitarian problem," while Kosovo involved "strong security and strategic consequences...
...shaves his head and chest, she doesn't. But hey, they're both newly single and in peak physical condition. There are worse reasons for two people to get together.

When it comes to presidential politics, Elizabeth Dole may be the last of the Fifties Guys...
