Smokey Bear would love the Jetboil Personal Cooking System, which cuts the risk of forest fires by allowing campers to prepare soup, pasta, rice and beans--any single-pot dish--quickly and safely. How? The flame is contained within the Jetboil's patented Flux Ring, which channels the heat from a butane burner directly into the vessel. (Fuel canisters sold separately.) Bonus: a neoprene cover insulates the food while protecting campers' fingers from the heat...
President Bush proved again last week that he's not afraid to surround himself with powerful women, choosing Harriet Miers as his chief counsel, Margaret Spellings as head of the Education Department and Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State.

She started out as his tutor on foreign affairs when he was still Governor of Texas. But once she became his National Security Adviser, "her primary job was to understand the President and understand how he wanted to be served," says former National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft, Rice's previous boss and mentor. "And she did that brilliantly." Now that Bush has nominated her to be his Secretary of State, the question is where she stands on the foreign policy...
