...began working out with Anderson in 1998, he hit one home run in every 16.1 at bats. Since 2001, he has hit a dinger in every 7.9 at bats. This past season, at age 40, he remained a feared hitter, belting 45 homers. Pitchers and managers got so gun-shy that Bonds walked a record 232 times. He won his seventh Most Valuable Player award last month...
...more delightful consequences of the recent election that Democrats--now caricatured as the party of élite secularists--find themselves led in the Senate by a pro-life, pro-gun, pro-war, red-state convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But Reid's ascendance has little to do with ideology; it is a practical matter. The Senate is the only place in Washington where Democrats, though a minority, can force the Administration to make a deal. They can do so because of arcane rules that require a 60-vote majority to stop a filibuster...
...fragmented media, commercial cutters like TiVo, and exponentially more goods and services vying for consumer attention, the old rules don't apply.

Giuliani insists that his protégé's withdrawal is solely about the nanny problem--and not about the cacophony of other issues that surfaced, like Kerik's recent $6.2 million windfall from exercising stock options in Taser International, a stun-gun company on whose board he serves and which does business with the Department of Homeland Security. Kerik never warned the Bush Administration about a potential nanny issue, a senior official says. "He's a workaholic. These are things he doesn't concentrate on," says Giuliani. When Kerik called the White House to tell them of the problem...
Even the heavily armored humvees, as Rumsfeld inelegantly reminded the troops last week, aren't fail-safe: 120 have been destroyed in combat in Iraq. Unlike M1 tanks, even beefed-up humvees can't always stop a rocket-propelled grenade or .50-cal. machine-gun bullet from killing those inside. But they are built to halt armor-piercing 7.62-mm rounds--the kind of bullets fired from AK-47s, an insurgent favorite. The roof is engineered to thwart the blast of a 155-mm artillery shell exploding overhead, and the floor is reinforced to protect passengers from a bomb...
