...almost plaintive as he pleads for patience with Iraq's fledgling democracy. Last week he showed off a gift he received from President George W. Bush, a gold-foil-covered box containing a worn, leather-bound 19th century copy of the Federalist papers. Al-Jaafari has read the book in translation and cites the extensive debates over the ratification of the U.S. Constitution as a reason that the Iraqi democracy should not be rushed.

...home, put her baby in daycare, and get back to work. But soon after Jemima's birth, "I realized I'd been living in a dream world." Jemima cried constantly and screamed in caf?s when her mother tried to catch up with friends. Confined to a small apartment, worn down by lack of sleep and feeling inadequate and disillusioned, Beddoe visited a G.P., who suspected postnatal depression and handed her a trial pack of Zoloft.
