...ground. We wanted answers and detail and a plan for victory. We began to get one in the past month or so, as the President finally started to give more candid speeches in front of general audiences, even taking unscripted questions! He acknowledged "setbacks" in Iraq and wrong prewar intelligence, predicted violence ahead, asked for persistence and cited tens of thousands of civilian Iraqi deaths...
...Bono has been more right than wrong, something that still seems to amaze Bill. It's strange to hear him talk about Bono. Bill is not easily impressed; if you're not talking to him at a very high level about science or business, you're wasting his time, and he lets you know it.

A November study (“Who Bears the Burden” by the Center for Data Analysis) showed, in fact, that 45 percent of all new enlisted recruits, excluding officers who are generally from wealthier families, are from the wealthiest 40 percent. Only 35 percent of new recruits are from the poorest 40 percent...
