...Actually, I missed Bush's exhilarating, if oft misguided, boldness. And there were ways Bush could have broken new ground last week and remained true to his values. Some conservatives-including the authors of a recent cover story in the Weekly Standard magazine-believe it's time for Republicans to embrace a mandatory universal health-insurance plan. Representatives of American industry-which is staggering under its health-care burden-have been meeting quietly with labor unions, think tanks and interest groups in Washington to try to find common ground.

Boycotts of Danish products spread...

On Wednesday, Nagin told a Senate committee that the city has only so far received about 2,000 of the 45,000 to 60,000 temporary homes it needs; on the other hand, he said that the broken levees should be sufficiently repaired by the next hurricane season. Still, no matter how often Nagin pleads his town's case in Washington, it's clear that "New Orleans needs help inside the Beltway with Republicans," says Stonecipher, and the Landrieus know it. When President Bush visited New Orleans recently, Mitch...
