...young, pretty hospital interns on their stressful rounds. But these young pretties may at least be funny and appealing for a change. (It was worth it alone to see they're giving work to Sarah Chalke, a.k.a. "Roseanne"'s second Becky, and the so-appealing-you-could-pinch-him Donald Faison, a.k.a. "Felicity"'s Tracy.) Best line of advice, from a character pushing a dead woman in a wheelchair: "If you push around a stiff, no one will ask you to do anything...
...familiar with the frustrations of building missile defenses as Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Back in 1975, when Rumsfeld was Gerald Ford's Defense Secretary--he's the only person to have held the job twice--he inherited the Pentagon's first attempt at a missile-defense shield, the $25 billion Safeguard system, designed to protect 150 Minuteman missiles dotting North Dakota...

...takes a Republican to say no to the military. And when multiple nos and some painful amputations are the order of the day, that Republican had better have matchless hawkish credentials. And few can match either Donald Rumsfeld's hawkish stripes or his reputation as a bureaucratic brawler. Indeed, one of the more widely reprinted legends surrounding the 69-year-old Defense Secretary, who served in the same post under President Ford, alleges that Henry Kissinger once told Republican insiders that of all the despots he'd had to deal with, none was more ruthless than Donald Rumsfeld...
