...Beverage protocols aside, Moscow was even more encouraged by the failure of the Bush Administration's final effort to persuade NATO to fast-track membership for Georgia and Ukraine. Russia is fiercely opposed to what it sees as the Alliance's "encroachment" into the territories of the old Russian empire, and when the U.S. had pushed in April for the adoption of a formal membership process for the two countries, the effort was rebuffed by France, Germany and Italy, among others. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice tried again last week week, with a round of intense lobbying ahead of what...
...states with budgets still on track include Alaska, Arkansas, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas and West Virginia.
