...Governor in particular for praise: Racicot, of Montana, who emerged during the Florida fiasco as a take-no-prisoners surrogate for the Governor. Racicot's accusation that Gore had declared war on U.S. troops by trying to toss out their absentee ballots has already made him a target among some Democrats on Capitol Hill. But Bush is unbowed and is considering the former state attorney general for Justice or Interior. "He's a genuinely good person," said Bush, "a genuine guy. I promise you that whatever position he's in, he'll be a star--in a very quiet...
...genome saga know, Venter's restless intellect and his tendency to buck authority were evident from the start. After barely graduating from high school in the 1960s, for example, he headed not for college but for the surfing beaches of Southern California. That made him a prime target for the draft, and the Navy sent him to Vietnam as a medical corpsman--an experience that taught him indelible lessons about the fragility of human life and the colossal ineptitude of big bureaucracies.

But he spends even less time than Woodward probing the matter and then mysteriously concludes that such a strategy wouldn't work anyway. Millions of people have come to believe that Greenspan purposely moves stock prices. They're wrong, according to both authors. Yet we get no proof...
...Sharon will wage pretty much the same campaign as Benjamin Netanyahu would have, although the former prime minister's disastrous first term would have offered a bigger target for Barak's attack dogs. Instead, they'll blame Sharon for the Lebanon war, which Barak ended last June in a move that was welcomed by Israelis across partisan lines. And they'll charge that the methods that have earned Sharon the nickname "The Bulldozer" are unlikely to bring peace. But Sharon's team will hammer Barak on the breakdown of the peace process, accusing him of dangerous...
