...judge must have the humility to be fully open to the views of his fellow judges." As for precedent, Roberts affirmed that it "plays an important role in promoting the stability of the legal system." If nothing else, that was politically shrewd, since it heartened liberals, who felt he wouldn't set out to unravel every regulation of the past 30 years, but also conservatives, who felt reassured that he wouldn't use a seat on the bench to confect a constitutional right to gay marriage...
...Bush remains forever an optimist but that even he recognizes his limits. When he went biking with Lance Armstrong in Crawford earlier this month, the two, at one point, approached a particularly steep and rocky hill. Bush "wouldn't even contemplate going up it," recalls a senior Bush official. For his part, Armstrong cruised up the incline. A White House military aide made it part of the way up but "Lance just buried him" and Bush was in awe of his stamina. The fittest president since Teddy Roosevelt will need more than his share of endurance in the coming weeks...
...stuck to the Motorola headset. This isn't because of the invisible software that joins them together-that's based on a Bluetooth standard that guarantees that Motorola headsets and non-Motorola headsets will behave similarly when connected to a Motorola phone. No, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to use the same plug in my car to charge both the phone and the headset (at different times, of course). Having to buy a separate Plantronics charger cable for my car might have spoiled the deal. Plantronics engineers anticipated this, and included adapters that snap...
...throw in the emotional! These growth hormones, where can I get a bunch of them? Is there some way that, with electricity, you could stimulate your own growth hormones? Plug yourself in for five minutes, there'd be a little jolt, but you'd get used to it. It wouldn't be bad at all; in fact, you'd get to enjoy it, probably. Then away you'd go, and youth wouldn't be wasted on the young anymore. You'd be 25, with a 95-year-old mind. Granddad would start breaking into liquor stores and staying out late...
...common. Both are Texans and avid cyclists with at least a casual interest in politics. The seven-time Tour de France winner and the leader of the free world shared the trail last weekend at Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. White House press secretary Trent Duffy wouldn't say whether the pair discussed politics (Armstrong opposes the Iraq war and wants more spending on cancer research), but at the end of a two-hour, 17-mile spin, Bush gave Armstrong, whom he described as "a good rider," a T shirt and suggested, "Let's go swimming." For his next...
