...danger of a smallpox attack is still real. The CIA stands by its 2002 assertion that North Korea may have the smallpox pathogen--though U.S. officials tell TIME that intelligence is even less reliable than what the CIA had on Iraq's smallpox program. Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz last month ordered an expansion of the Pentagon's smallpox-inoculation program.

"I was never in a meeting when I saw Bremer make a decision with senior aides. He'd come out of his phone calls, and he'd say, 'Here's what we're going to do.'" Bremer's ability to navigate the Administration's internal divisions made him an instant...
