...nuclear program and President George W. Bush's response to it was quite disturbing [Dec. 17]. Before the NIE findings, how close did Bush push us into yet another military engagement? When Bush talks about winning in Iraq, what is it that we will have won? Will it be worth our military losses of more than 3,800 Americans killed and thousands more maimed or mentally affected? The NIE report is a reminder of Bush's disconnect with the reality that we Americans are forced to live with. Phil Wilt, VAN NUYS, CALIF...
...pity that there was no promise of a reward for an answer to the question on the magazine's cover. But never mind; the cause was one for which it was worth mobilizing. We have asked hundreds of our cultural partners in almost 110 countries worldwide to give us the names of worldwide stars in their own fields who happen to be French. We thought for a while that we might buy an advertisement to publish this list of "French stars" but, apart from having to pay a great deal for the right of reply, we would never have been...

Abiding by Republican National Committee rules and holding the county conventions later, Sansonetti said, would "doom the Wyoming Republican Party to being a non-player, with...
...event itself, however, will have plenty of precedent. The craters that pock the surface of Mars, the Moon, Mercury and other Solar System bodies come from about four billion years' worth of this sort of thing. Earth has had plenty of collisions too; it's just that erosion, continental drift and vegetation have erased or hidden most of them. Not all, though: Meteor Crater, in Arizona, was blasted out some 50,000 years ago by an asteroid about the same size as 2007 WD5. A much bigger object, a few miles across, is thought by many scientists...
