...house divided against itself is one that is in trouble. I see the United States and Europe as one cultural house—we share so much in common. I worry in these turbulent times, that house will not stand, unless there is a willingness to listen and concede—on both sides—in order to overcome the perilous dangers facing us all. Iraq is a huge test of our willingness and ability to work together on equal terms, until we arrive in more benign times...

...Says Daryl Daigre, vice president of marketing for Mossy Oak, a camouflage-and-hunting-accessories chain: "They deliver our ultimate consumer to us." While larger networks are queasy about showing the actual felling of animals, the Outdoor Channel shows the "kill shot"--but tastefully. It avoids blood and guts unless skinning and butchering are the topics, as they were in a recent episode of Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild, a popular show whose host is the rock star and hunter...
