The pope has long promised to lead the church in coming to terms with some of its sins on the occasion of the Jubilee. For him, it's the culmination of many years of work, as a pontiff who lost a lot of his Jewish friends during the horror of the Holocaust and questioned the complicity of his own faith as a result. |

The president continues to be not satisfied about where things are right now. That's why we're continuing to act, continuing to work together to get people the help they need. There's been important progress made in a number of areas but there are ongoing problems and challenges that we continue to work to address. |
The provision of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 establishing equal financial aid treatment for all 529 plans is good news for Ohio families with money invested in the Guaranteed Savings Fund. This eliminates a major source of confusion for families saving for college and for financial aid administrators as well. |
The real question for President Bush is going to be: is he going to be like Nixon — hunker down, get into the bunker, admit no mistakes, ... or like Reagan, who actually admitted mistakes, did a midcourse correction and brought in new people, bipartisan people, people above ethical reproach, into the White House. |
The real question that needs to be asked and answered is 'Why?' Why would any group of legislators want to discourage college students from registering and voting? I thought what we wanted is for young people to participate in the democratic process. We don't have one shred of evidence of voter fraud in this state. |

The Russian-Iranian basic agreement to establish a joint venture on uranium enrichment on Russian territory is a positive but not final step in the solution to Iran's nuclear program. This agreement is just part of the solution to the problem, which Russia is trying to find. Russia is moving in the right direction. |
The sale-leaseback structure allows us to grow our company, our holdings and our revenues without growing our overhead at these individual properties. This is a very efficient way for us to enter into these regional markets, keeping experienced managers with local knowledge on the job as we help enhance operations. |
The schedule gives us balance in terms of not being on the road more than one week at a time. I like that the Big East games are mostly together and later in the season while we also have a good mix of non-conference foes from the ACC, Big Ten and independents along with an old traditional opponent in Rhode Island. |
The school is letting us leave very early for the game, and that will give us plenty of time to stop and eat, stretch and try to keep the blood flowing and the muscles loose throughout the day. We plan to get there about an hour and a half before the game starts so we can get ready and focused for the task at hand. |
The second round is important for us to get him ready and that he keeps progressing. I have nothing to say about it, but I would like him to get a start. Some consideration has to be given to that. If not, then we have to reconsider what's going on. After the first round I need to find out what's going on with him. |
The settlements in the West Bank have a stronger ideological value for settlers, and even non-settlers, for that matter, than those in the Gaza Strip. The election was clearly a setback for the settlers. But I don't think they are going to lie down and play dead. They still have some considerable ability to resist. |
The strong growth figures for China are not translating into the rises in earnings per share as we would expect to see, because of widespread margin pressure. We are seeing a supply overhang emerging in the stock market, caused by the Chinese government's methodical divestiture from its considerable stock holdings. |
The team in North America, led by Mark Fields and supported by Anne Stevens, developed the plan for North America, drawing on their extensive global experience in Asia, Europe and The Americas. They have reenergized the Ford team to make it work, and they have the full support of the Ford Motor Company behind them. |
