...after a well- publicized two-month maternity leave, she did it all. Doubled forward with interest, like the most attentive date you've ever had, she quizzed Katharine Hepburn about her early days as an actress. Eyes narrowing ever so slightly in concern, she probed Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney about whether the U.S. still needs the B-2 bomber. Zoning out helpfully, she lobbed puffballs ("Did you ever dream you'd be so successful?") at radio deejays Mark and Brian, stars of a new NBC series. And, of course, she brought baby pictures.

Both sides understood and would not bear the cost of nuclear war. We cannot be so sure that will be true of Iraq, North Korea, Iran, Libya, the nuclear powers...
Negotiations wound up quickly last week after Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney announced that the U.S. was no longer interested in Clark because it would cost too much to repair the damage done by the volcano. The next day Manila agreed to a 10-year extension of the American lease on Subic Bay for an annual payment of $203 million, beginning...
