...under no illusions about the limitations he faces. He once told TIME that people who go to work at the White House pass through two distinct stages of astonishment. At first, they are amazed at what the place can do. But then they are quickly disillusioned by what it cannot accomplish. Putting an Iraqi exit plan in front of the President will be relatively simple. Winning Bush's full support may be harder. And executing it in a country where strategic planning is almost an oxymoron may prove beyond any man's--or any White House's--capability...
...intuition that the way to work with Pedro is to become a piece of clay," says Cruz. "With somebody like him, you cannot go in with doubts because it would be the most stupid behavior. I wish I would have that feeling every movie I do, but it's not that way." Cruz's trust seems daughterly, but, insists the director, who is 57, with a shock of gray hair, "I don't like when she looks at me like a paternal figure.

Although I cannot comment meaningfully on the entire region, your article failed to identify two of the main causes of problems in Hungary. First is an absence of leadership among the political élite: opposition parties are criticizing the current government but have not offered a credible alternative. Second, Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany has not been open about his family's wealth, yet he chooses to raise taxes...
Further, the tremendous sum that it costs to get a drug approved severely constrains the number of drugs companies are willing to develop. If a pharmaceutical company cannot expect to make back their costs—which could reach over $1 billion—in sales from a drug, it will not even go to the trouble of submitting the drug for FDA approval. This limits the options available to those with rare diseases, because the FDA creates a huge disincentive to make drugs that will only help a “niche” market. That explains...
