...York Times that she had, after all, been quite active behind the scenes of the Administration. I tend to believe that's true, but the truth is closed off to Hillary after six years of denying that she ever set foot in the West Wing, preferring to concern herself with preserving historic sites, fussing over state dinners and writing a book on entertaining. You can have only so many guises...
...vacation retreat in Sochi on the day of the accident and sent no messages of condolence to the fleet or to the furious families of the missing men. His officially published schedule told of phone conversations with foreign leaders but made no mention of briefings, consultations or expressions of concern about the Kursk. On Wednesday, dressed casually and looking tanned, he met with visiting academics to discuss at relaxed length problems of science, research and the brain drain.

Concerned about Fox, who appeared noticeably tired all evening...
...Saddam Hussein. The U.S. and British air raids on the southern Iraqi city of Samawa over the weekend, which Iraq alleges struck civilian targets, highlight the problem posed by Washington's strategy - or, perhaps, the absence of a strategy. Besides maintaining U.N. sanctions in the face of growing concern in the Gulf War alliance that these have no positive effect, the U.S. and Britain remain militarily engaged against Iraq by policing the "no-fly" zones they have declared in northern and southern Iraq. Although these zones aren't recognized by the United Nations, allied planes bomb Iraqi air defenses...
