...approval ratings hovering near 90%, now is the time to push a conservative agenda and dare the Democrats to oppose it. "Unless the President takes on Daschle, we will have paralysis, and voters won't be able to see distinctions," says a House G.O.P. leader. But Bush favors a softer approach: calling for a continuation of post-9/11 unity and bipartisanship, thereby making Daschle seem shrill and churlish. At the same time, Bush knows that his father's apparent blindness to the recession of 1991 negated his Gulf War triumph. So between now and his State of the Union...

It is a testament to Jay Kay’s songwriting skills when he turns the lyrics “I never had a dream that...
...Sharon imagines a muscular sort of peace, Peres, despite all the setbacks, still dreams of something softer. Peres and Sharon go back more than a half-century; as a defense ministry official, Peres introduced the firebrand young officer to Israel's first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, in 1948.
