there are no interesting kerry ledes
nice try, but give it up
the nation's most delusional senator
WASHINGTON -- Was it his campaign's slow response to the swift boat advertisements or the remark that he voted for Iraq war money before he voted against it that John Kerry regrets most from his failed bid for the White House?

look instead at which models successfully produce funding for further development from the government.
those survive.
it's the career-minded politically-active scientist effect.
Nearly two dozen computer models now agree that by 2100, the average yearly global temperature will be 3 to 6 degrees Fahrenheit higher than now, according to Gerald Meehl, a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

Depression Hits Some Preachers' Wives
the women's page
SELMER, Tenn. -- Mary Winkler was the quiet, unassuming wife of a small-town, by-the-Bible preacher, seemingly devoted to church and family. But now her husband, Matthew, is dead and she is charged with shooting him in the back with a shotgun.
Authorities won't discuss a motive, and church members say they didn't see any indication she was unhappy. But experts say preachers' wives often struggle with depression and isolation, expected to be exemplars of Christian virtue while bearing unique pressures on their private and public lives.

New Orleans Needs a Leader (NYT)
elections are not affected by the number voting. you get the same percentage and the same winner with any number participating. polls in fact depend on it, where the largest sample you see is never more than a thousand.

hard work is needed to ensure democrats win, the NYT means.
Hard work is needed to ensure that as many voters as possible in New Orleans can exercise their rights on Election Day.
