Kovach, who is also the ombudsperson for Brill's Content magazine, plans to spend more time with his family--his wife Lynne, his four children, and his six grandchildren--and to dedicate time to writing. He is in the process of co-authoring a book with Tom Rosenstiel that bears the working title, The Elements of Journalism...
...they ought to balance their budget on the backs of the poor," said Bush in California on Thursday. Compare to Bill Clinton on the same day - "I will not sign a bill that turns its back on these hard-working families" - and you can certainly see why GOP whipmeister Tom DeLay is less than pleased.

Pity the poor Republicans. They're doing it to themselves again.

A top Chinese diplomat told TIME that Beijing believes accession has been pretty much "agreed upon" by the U.S. and China. But soon after the Chinese negotiators arrive in the capital, House majority whip Tom Delay is planning to wave a red flag, introducing a pro-Taiwan arms resolution on the House floor. Other GOP leaders, including Senate majority leader Trent Lott, have also signaled that politics is not right for a China vote this year. And though that may tempt the Administration to back...
