...bridge-building address to the N.A.A.C.P.; in the summer of 2004 he snubbed the organization. Two-thirds of Americans favored extension of the assault-weapons ban; in September he conspicuously let it die. He repeatedly offered swing voters expressly what they told pollsters they did not want: a multiyear commitment in Iraq, a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, Social Security private accounts, restricted federal funding of stem-cell research. The most he would do is hint that radioactive Attorney General John Ashcroft wouldn't make it to a second Bush presidency. But even at the height...
...good news for Sox fans is that core "idiots" like Johnny Damon and Kevin Millar will be back. And as the rival Yankees try to avenge this year's loss, they may find it hard to snap up the usual big names. The Yankees are saddled with multiyear, multimillion-dollar deals for pitchers Kevin Brown and Javier Vazquez, two goats of the final league-championship game, and for first baseman Jason Giambi, who is a shell of what he once was.

If ever a man was ready for some superficial happiness, it was the teeth-grinding, chain-smoking Dan, who dubs his premakeover self the "king of cynics...
...time of maximum danger. That's when hot, dry winds--the infamous Santa Anas--barrel out of the desert, driving small blazes (set in this case by a lost hunter and suspected arsonists) to savage frenzy. Making matters worse this time was the one-two punch of a multiyear drought (which weakened millions of trees) and a massive bark-beetle infestation (which killed off many of them). The Federal Government had just denied the state's request for more funding to remove dead trees when the fires hit. In a matter of days, 14,000 fire fighters found themselves arrayed...
