Meanwhile, George W. does not seem to suffer from a surfeit of purpose either. In the duel against Saddam, the U.S. plays a Gulliver strong on words and weak on will. Will it really go after the Butcher of Baghdad? Maybe. Or not. It all depends on who is talking. The Pentagon seems to be gung-ho on war, the State Department much less so. The military does not like wars it is not guaranteed to win with zero casualties. So the brass does what it knows best: leaking its doubts all over Washington. And Congress has launched hearings...

She's wary of planning her wedding to Png, more than a year away, fearing she may not survive that long. "I feel I'm still living a nightmare," she says. She is, at any rate, still living. In June, fellow Singaporean Selvarani Raja, a 43-year-old logistics manager at Singapore Technologies, died from liver failure...
...easy to see why. Canadian price controls and the weak Canadian dollar mean that popular prescription drugs in Canada can be 35% to 80% less expensive than their U.S. counterparts. "I've heard stories of entire condominium complexes in Florida that order their drugs from Canadian websites," says Billy Shawn, founder of TheCanadianDrugStore.com...
