...member of the Iraqi Governing Council and a former U.S. ally [May 31]: The Bush Administration neoconservatives should be fired for their support of Chalabi, who misled American leaders into attacking Iraq. Now Chalabi is being investigated for telling an Iranian spy about our having broken an Iranian secret code. That's a serious charge. Who revealed classified information to Chalabi, and will those people be fired? Or will Bush, as usual, not hold them accountable for their mistakes? John Wisdom Dancer Canoga Park...
...same name?comes out in August and stars Shingo Katori, of the popular boy band SMAP, as an overearnest ninja who moves from a feudal village to modern Tokyo, where he serves a nine-year-old master. Hattori speaks in outdated formalities, struggles to maintain the ninja code of self-concealment in the crowded city, and ends up in all sorts of trouble. The other big-ticket remake now in the works is Tetsujin 28-go (Iron Man 28), based on one of Japan's oldest and best-loved comics, which ran from 1956-66 and was also made into...
After a doctor identifies a cancer and chooses a combination of drugs to combat it, there is still no guarantee that the drugs will work. That's because no two patients are alike.

Reagan and the reformers believed in letting individuals make decisions based on their own view of economic self-interest, not the tax code's. By the end of Reagan's term, the ground had shifted to the point that it became all but impossible for politicians to propose big new spending programs in the face of so much red ink.
