Suburban stonewalling was a hot topic at the wireless industry's recent Tower Summit and Trade Show in New Orleans. "Wireless companies have already paid the Federal Government over $20 billion for licenses that are tied up in local disputes," lamented Laura Altschul, government affairs director for T-Mobile USA. "We need to break the logjam in residential areas." To speed the process, the Bush Administration is trying to give the industry unfettered access to the public right of way. Municipalities could lose control over tower siting along major roads, but it's unlikely that citizens will have...
...main goal is to share his appreciation for, and to ask for a continuation of U.S. support for Turkey's accession to the European Union. The EU will hold a crucial summit in Copenhagen later this week to discuss the question of enlargement. Turkey is the only applicant that has not been given a date to begin negotiations over becoming part of the EU. We believe that Turkey does deserve to be given a date. We have made 48 constitutional amendments and many reforms over the past 18 months, and another reform package will be voted on in parliament this...

At midnight, he stood in that snow-laden landscape in front of the White House, tugged a couple of times on an expiring cigar, then literally skipped up the portico stairs and into the White House. In June 1961 Kennedy returned from a U.S.-Soviet summit in Vienna on crutches and was lifted onto Air Force One by a cherrypicker, the most graphic public display of his physical problems. But two nights later, he was in Palm Beach sipping daiquiris while Frank Sinatra records played in the background, telling amusing and frightening stories of his encounter...
While making discreet diplomatic overtures to Iran, the U.S. is more openly safeguarding its relations with other nations that have a stake in Iraq's future. On the margins of the NATO summit in Prague last week, Bush met with Turkey's President Ahmet Necdet Sezer to confirm that the U.S. did not want to see Iraq's borders changed. The Turkish government is worried that Iraqi Kurds will be so overjoyed if Saddam is defeated that their mood will infect the Kurds in Turkey, rekindling demands for autonomy from Ankara. As sweeteners, Bush reaffirmed American backing for Turkey...
