...economy on track. In exchange, New Delhi agrees to put its civilian nuclear program under international safeguards. Its nuclear weapons program, meanwhile, is allowed to continue unimpeded, though India has agreed to work with the U.S. towards an international fissile material cut-off treaty. It's a foreign policy triumph that wins India a seat at the nuclear high table while allowing it to refrain from signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The U.S., in return, gets brownie points for bringing two-thirds of India's reactors under IAEA safeguards and, more importantly, forges closer ties with a country...

...Freshman in 1925 set up the basic conflict of nerd vs. jock. The athlete was seen as stuck-up, taking adulation as his due, knowing "you gotta be a football hero to win the love of a beautiful girl."

...Rove didn't seem like such a genius then - and even less so after Jim Jeffords quit the Republican Party in mid-2001, thereby swinging control of the Senate back to the Democrats. But then came 9/11, and in the fall of 2002, Rove helped engineer a stunning political triumph when, for only the second time in history, Republicans picked up seats in both the House and the Senate in the first mid-term of a presidency.
