...School clerkships for liberal Supreme Court Justice and fellow Harvard Law School alumnus William J. Brennan and for Appeals Court Judge Murray I. Gurfein, the judge who first permitted The New York Times to print The Pentagon Papers. After first working in private practice, Chertoff worked under then-U.S. Attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani in New York. In 1990, he was appointed the U.S. attorney for New Jersey by former President Bush and was the only U.S. attorney in the nation who was reappointed by President Clinton three years later. Chertoff developed a reputation for being more of a Republican...
Even more amazing than Clarkson's emergence as a credible pop singer is that her glitz-free approach--she favors hook-filled, unpretentious songs, like the addictive Since U Been Gone, delivered with a vocal minimalism alien to her dolphin-shrieking peers--has made her kind of, well, cool.

However, at a July 31, 2002, Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on DeWine's bill, James...
...between the two, during the U.S. President's 2004 trip to Ottawa, Bush was said to have lectured Harper on the need for stronger continental defenses. But since then, Harper's pledge to reopen the missile-defense issue with a parliamentary debate, along with the Conservatives' defense-oriented, pro-U.S. platform, has encouraged Washington's belief that it may now have a more reliable ally in Ottawa...
...Mark Souder, a Republican U.S. Congressman from Indiana and a member of the Canada-U.S. Inter-Parliamentary Group, predicts the principal consequence of the Conservatives' ascent to power will be a new "tone of mutual respect" between the two capitals. Harper's Arctic admonition could rekindle the old doubts, but improvements in the U.S.-Canada relationship will probably come through a mutual recognition of the new "geopolitical realities" in an energy-hungry and security-conscious North America, says Professor John Thompson, who teaches Canadian studies at North Carolina's Duke University. And no one is better positioned to exploit...
