Shoutfest Crossfire, conservative pundit TUCKER CARLSON left the network last week and is in negotiations with rival MSNBC. A CNN exec told reporters his decision to drop Crossfire was influenced in part by Daily Show host Jon Stewart, who called Carlson and his liberal counterpart, Paul Begala, "partisan hacks" when he was on the show last fall. "It's a half-hour show at 4:30," says Carlson, who put in his resignation before Stewart's comments. "To say we're the problem with America is ludicrous." Yeah. It's prime time that's really doing...
...time of her death from leukemia last week at 71, Sontag was one of the most visible and indispensable figures in the world of letters. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in influential little journals like Partisan Review, she emerged as the intellectual plenipotentiary of American cultural life, militantly contemporary, insatiable in her appetite for culture and truly, madly, deeply conversant with every new development in fiction, philosophy, film and art.

In spite of two years of constant partisan attacks on the President, the electorate wasn't fooled. They know when they see a strong leader. The American people gave the President more Republicans in Congress and the largest popular vote any President has received, which amounts to a governing mandate that will create a stronger U.S.--at home and abroad...
TIME'S reporting on what I did during the election season suggested that I was such a Kerry partisan that I "grappled with a heckling Dean supporter at a Kerry rally in New Hampshire" [Nov. 15]. This was no doubt in reference to a January incident in which I helped two Dean security people escort a heckler from a Dean event. The heckler had been screaming and throwing elbows for quite some time when I stepped in to help. The manager of the Palace Theater said I was a hero for preventing the situation from getting out of control...
