...would therefore behoove Bush to ask General Colin Powell (Ret.) to join his White House ticket. With extensive experience in foreign and military affairs as a general and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Powell would add credibility to a Republican ticket that may otherwise lack substance. In addition, some of his more liberal social positions would allow the Republicans to appeal to a wider base than the GOP traditionally attracts.

...wonder-drug euphoria on Wall Street. In the past, flamed-out cures for everything from cholera to cancer have burned those who dared put their money on a biotech dream.

In recent years, though, the act and the JOAs have come under increasing pressure, most recently in Hawaii, where Gannett, the giant chain that owns the Honolulu Advertiser, sought to buy and close down the rival Star-Bulletin. The case is being fought in the state's courts, where it is argued that the sale would violate...
