Ushering in a New Era

|

In less than three weeks, the Republican Party will simultaneously control both the Executive and Legislative Branches for the first time in a generation while conservatives also slightly outnumber liberals in the Supreme Court.

A Democratic Quandary

|

Now that Gov. George W. Bush has finally stolen the election, the prevailing idea endorsed by Americans is that the entire country -- Republicans, Democrats and Independents -- should unite behind President-elect Bush.

Here & Now

|

From a vote counter with a disputed ballot in a Florida district to a computer programmer with an arsenal in suburban Boston, we are constantly reminded that the decisions of individuals impact our daily lives.

|

Expert Opinions

|

As a result of this year's incredibly close election, the American media have focused only on Vice President Al Gore, Governor George W.

Carry On

|

When I started doing this column I promised myself that I wouldn't write any Army stories. I'm breaking that promise.
