| Sun, 2 Sep 2007 | | Republican front-runner Rudy Giuliani is best known for his response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks as mayor of New York. But Giuliani is quick to note that he also managed a major budget as chief executive of America's biggest city. U.S. News caught up with Giuliani after he spoke at a "tax summit" campaign event in Manchester, N.H. There, he offered his case for making the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts permanent, killing the estate tax (or "death tax," as he puts it), indexing the alternative minimum tax to inflation, and lowering corporate taxes. | | More information |

| Sun, 2 Sep 2007 | | WINTER PARK, FLA.--Michael Conner has no doubts. "I'm big on the war," says the 60-year-old retired schoolteacher as he helps a friend sell homemade honey at the Winter Park farmers' market. "I'm supporting our president. I support our country. I support our troops." This is too much for Nini Galyon, who overhears her pal's declarations as Conner chats with a reporter. "I'll tell you the opposite," volunteers Galyon, 58, a retired electrical engineer and lifelong Florida resident who runs the honey concession. "I've been very unhappy with the current administration from the start," she says. "I support the troops, but I feel that this war was illegitimate." Neither Galyon, a Democrat, nor Conner, an independent, knows how to end the conflict, but both express hope that someone will come up with an acceptable exit strategy--fast. | | More information |
| Sun, 2 Sep 2007 | | Almost every standard world history textbook celebrates Islam's golden age of science. Between the ninth and 13th centuries, Muslim scholars not only translated the great works of Greek medicine, mathematics, and science but also pushed the frontiers of discovery in all of those areas. They improved and named algebra, refined techniques of surgery, advanced the study of optics, and charted the heavens. Then, toward the end of the 13th century, something mysterious happened: The scientific spirit seemed to die almost completely. | | More information |
| Sun, 2 Sep 2007 | | The resignation of embattled U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was never a question of if but of when.

| Sun, 2 Sep 2007 | | When Beverly Bluhm heard that the report on the Virginia Tech shootings had been leaked to the press and a copy was available on the Internet, she rushed to read it for herself. She wanted answers, anything that might help her understand why her son, Brian Bluhm, a civil engineering teaching assistant, and 31 other students and faculty members were fatally shot by a fellow student on April 16. | | More information |
| Sun, 2 Sep 2007 | | Any struggling homeowner expecting Uncle Sam to cut him a check was surely disappointed by a new White House proposal to help deal with the burgeoning mortgage crisis. But the initiatives that President Bush announced last week could help at least tens of thousands of homeowners at risk of foreclosure keep their homes. "Owning a home has always been at the center of the American dream," Bush said. | | More information |
