DeLay is playing nice these days. Democrats, he told TIME, "are going to have a hard time making me the bogeyman, particularly in this notion that George Bush and I don't get along. Are you kidding? I'm going to carry his agenda and our agenda. I'll do everything I can to put together the coalitions to make his agenda happen...
...extensive publicity during the summer and fall for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, not to increase sales--a laughable notion given the enormous, pent-up demand--but to make herself available to some of her young readers.

That cost such major producer countries as Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and Venezuela tens of billions of dollars in revenue and has left OPEC wary of increasing supplies beyond the 3.7 million bbl. a day it has released onto the world market so far this year...
