...pitch in the opening match. The one that lost 2-1 to Croatia and got by Austria 1-0 thanks to a Michael Ballack free kick blast doesn't appear to pose much of a threat to Portugal. And the Germans will be without their coach, Joachim Löw, who is serving a one-game suspension for getting dismissed during the Austria match. Although a second choice Portugal side lost to Switzerland - which salved some wounds for the co-hosts - tonight there will be Christiano Ronaldo and Deco to deal with, and as they showed against the Czechs, that...
...Uncle Sam's Energy Lag In his story on how to solve the energy crisis, Jeffrey D. Sachs says President George W. Bush "dithered for eight years instead of investing in new technologies for a sustainable planet" [June 9]. This year alone, the Bush Administration will dedicate more than $5 billion to research, develop and promote technologies including low-emission coal, renewables, nuclear power and vehicles powered by advanced biofuels, electricity and hydrogen.

Bush's loyal spokesman for almost three years, only to surprise Washington early this month by turning on him in his new book What Happened, a 326-page indictment of an Administration he says "chose in defining moments to employ obfuscation and secrecy rather than honesty and candor...
...that Obama might turn to, people like Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel or retired General James Jones, who would make an excellent National Security Adviser. But it is no small irony that if Obama really wants to make a clean break from his predecessor, he should start by retaining George W. Bush's Secretary of Defense...
