Designed in 1935 as commercial transport, this remarkable flying machine saw extensive duty during World War II as the C-47. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said the C-47 was one among four tools that won that war.Also displayed, and still flying, is a P-51D Mustang, the primary fighter/escort of that conflict.

The elder Mr. Bush, who led the nation during the 1991 Persian Gulf War with Iraq, ended up being be on hand Monday afternoon at the Pentagon for a ceremony naming the aircraft carrier. White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said he couldn't know what, if any, role President Bush been on securing the honor for his father. "I are aware that he's honored that his father was honored," Fleischer said. The USS George H.W. Bush remains under construction at Northrop Grumman's Newport News shipyard in Virginia. Completion of the massive nuclear-powered vessel is scheduled for 2009. When finished, the ship will be 1,092 feet long, weigh 97,000 tons and also have 4.5 acres of deck space for around 75 aircraft. Nimitz-class ships have crews of about 6,000 people. The carrier named after Mr. Bush would be the 10th Nimitz-class aircraft carrier from the Navy's fleet. The ninth, also still being built in Virginia, is the USS Taxation. Another Nimitz-class carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln, is currently in the Persian Gulf, where its planes are making an effort to patrol the southern no-fly zone over Iraq. This column was written by Eric Alterman. If you agree with John Dewey (and J??rgen Habermas) that democracy depends on a series of institutional arrangements that enable the population to form its own values and judgments over a variety of questions -- and I do -- you then cannot ignore the importance of civility in allowing these institutions to work. Without a foundation in civil society, the kinds of democratic exchange that allow a public to evaluate its prejudices and, potentially, transcend options are literally impossible. But the mores and institutions of civility is usually a double-edged sword. By insisting on "keeping things civil," in polite society, repressive powers may suppress ugly truths with regards to their conduct merely because raising them requires bad manners. I usually thought it was a stroke of genius on the part of Robert McNamara to start crying at dinner parties in the late 1960s if somebody raised the issue of Vietnam, since it pre-empted discussions of the deception and destruction for which he was responsible. Perhaps if McNamara was confronted with some of the morally uncomfortable consequences of his policies, he could have worked harder to reverse them. The pundit Robert Novak hasn't ever given the impression that he cared much to the values of civility. He regularly insults his political opponents and questions both their honesty and patriotism. The past time I appeared on television with Novak, he termed my politics for the "left of Khrushchev" and slandered my late journalistic mentor, I.F. Stone, as a Soviet spy. After I attemptedto call him on it, he refused to appear again with me and has dirty so for the past twelve years. Naturally, these are relatively inconsequential matters in comparison with what Novak has done to former CIA agent Valerie Plame, as well as to his fellow journalists Matthew Cooper and Judith Miller. Inside the former case, Novak destroyed the job of a loyal public servant and potentially endangered US national security because -- alone among six journalists contacted -- he made a decision to play patsy for a Bush Administration scheme to punish her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, by revealing her identity. (Wil?son had investigated, and found wanting, Administration claims the African nation of Niger had sold uranium to Iraq; he thereby undermined its case for war.) no previous page next 1/2 uggs women 46% Critics fear research may be rushed if the goal in eliminating cancer becomes making money. But the National Cancer Institute believes government funding has done all it can to find a cure. Now it's approximately capitalism. ugg boots leather Numerous are being slaughtered that the government is having trouble disposing of them all. "Come, eat my bread and drink your wine I have prepared for you," the pope said, at the start of a special luncheon with the homeless, quoting through the Old Testament. It was an infrequent day for 200 homeless along with the poor. They had lunch with Pope John Paul II, in Vatican City. In accordance with CBS News Reporter Sabina Castelfranco, the guests' menu included ravioli with ricotta cheese, veal roast with baked potatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese brought up from southern Italy, fruit, wine, champagne and occasional. Food they never wanted eating. Three organizations, the Sant' Egidio Catholic group, Caritas Italiana and nuns through the order founded by the late Mother Teresa of Calcuta, selected the poor people who came dressed in the best they could afford. The the indegent, who included non-Christians and non-Italians plus some gypsy women with their children, ate using the pope and his top aides from the foyer of the Vatican's audience hall. Down but dignified, many of them sat at 11 round tables having a cardinal or archbishop at each one in the foyer that was changed into a smart dining hall. Eight lucky people flanked the 80-year-old pontiff at a rectangular table. One who sat next to him, an old woman with wiry hair and a craggy face, said she sleeps on the street. "They are extremely excited, some of them didn't sleep last night," said Archbishop Crezenzio Sepe, secretary of the Vatican's Committee for the 2000 Holy Year. The poor people, most of whom frequent Rome's charity soup kitchens or scrounge for next meal, were using three waiters at each table, boys from Rome's seminaries or schools for Roman Catholic priests. The special guests, for whom paper cups and plates tend to be a luxury, found their tables set with fine beige-colored tablecloths with matching napkins and three glasses each and every setting. A band of 30 musicians and 10 singers played with the lunch, whose setting resembled that of a wedding party in a fine hotel. Within an address after the lunch, the pope asserted for him, it was probably the most important gatherings scheduled to the 2000 Holy Year. "As I provide credit one by one, I think of the many people in Rome, as well as in every part of the world who are going through trying and hard times," he said. CBS Worldwide Inc.

Reuters Limited brought about this report ugg australia clearance The Pentagon has ordered all 2.4 million folks the American military to accept the anthrax vaccine. Defense officials say the vaccine is necessary. But as CBS News Correspondent Vince Gonzales reports, the only real American source of anthrax vaccine is in danger of drying up.In accordance with Congressional investigators, BioPort, the only lab in the united states that makes the anthrax vaccine, is five months behind schedule and faces a serious cash-flow problem that could put it out of business."There is substantial doubt that BioPort should be able to continue performing its contracts and that the company needs additional cash to meet ongoing expenses and debt commitments," said Louis J. Rodrigues with the General Accounting Office.A CBS News investigation found the foodstuff and Drug Administration threatened to close the lab down in 1997 for repeated violations that can affect vaccine quality. BioPort officials admit they have got problems.BioPort?'s chief operating officer, Dr. Robert Myers said "At no more the day, we are meeting the schedule for the required doses for anthrax vaccine, to guide the anthrax vaccine immunization program as part of overall force protection."The Pentagon claims that protection is necessary to combat the specter of biological warfare. BioPort's chief exective officer, Fuad El-Hibri, says there?'s a simple way to save the company and the military?'s vaccination program ?– triple the price of the vaccine."BioPort believes that a fair and equitable adjustment towards the contract can be achieved within the period of time needed," he says.The concept of a price hike is just the latest controversy regarding the vaccine. Some soldiers have been court-martialed for refusing the shots. Others, who've taken the vaccine, say it built them into sick. Under perceived threats from your U.S. military to hold quiet about negative reactions on the anthrax vaccine, dozens of servicemen have come forward with reports of prolonged illness after getting the shots. Just hours after one man followed orders to accept vaccine two months ago, his pulse rate began to fluctuate wildly."I was shaking. I had been very cold. So they wrapped me within a blanket and took me into the hospital," says the soldier, who desires his identity protected as they fears that speaking out will hurt his military career.He says headaches, dizziness and tingling sensations in his arms and legs have continued because the episode. "You wonder if your career ends, is life over everbody knows it?" he says.He also wants to know what really happened to him on the day he got the anthrax shot. Going into Tuesday's presidential primary in Nh, front-runners in the five-man Republican field haven't been able to shake one very divisive issue, CBS News Correspondent Bill Whitaker reports.When it comes to abortion, Sen. John McCain would appreciate his very own "don't ask, don't tell policy." Hounded by abortion questions again Thursday, he joked he'd rather tackle safer issues such as the Confederate flag. He told reporters, "It's a difficult business we're in."What's got him rattled? Alternatives, both he and George W. Bush deliberately downplayed their staunch anti-abortion records, making conciliatory statements like this from Bush Thursday: "Good people can disagree on that issue." Debating the night time before, he had said that if he could write a constitutional amendment on abortion, it would say that the rights of the unborn are protected by law.Both front-runners are looking to appeal to moderate voters. And the party establishment was hoping to keep favorite Bush from being shoved much right on the issue, like Bob Dole was. According to Elizabeth Sherman, director of the Center for girls in Politics, "They had seen inside the 1996 election that women voters had made the difference for Bill Clinton against Dole plus they decided that they were not likely to let that happen again."But nobody told Republican candidates Steve Forbes and Alan Keyes. They used the matter like a battering ram to push Bush to generate strong pro-life statements in Iowa. Now they're pressing McCain in New Hampshire.Keyes, who finished third to Bush and Forbes in Iowa, challenged McCain inside the debate for saying earlier within the day that it would be a family decision should his teen-age daughter conceive and want an abortion.Campaigning at a school in Bedford on Thursday, Keyes said, "No pro-life Republican supports McCain with any kind of confidence. I'll let you know right now pro-life people who support McCain are losing their votes on someone that will betray us. He does not have this conviction in the heart."And from Forbes, "Dancing around Roe vs. Wade, individuals don't want that. They want to know status."That hard line may secure Forbes one third place finish in the Granite State -- and find yourself hurting the Republican Party. Like a CBS News poll out Thursday shows, for every single woman in New Hampshire who's pro-life, several others disagree. CBS Worldwide Inc. All Rights Reserved.

In New York, the couple of the year is Pale Male and Lola.CBS News Correspondent Mika Brzezinski has the most up-to-date on the celebrity red-tailed hawks, who were as soon as the center of controversy, around the Early Show Wednesday.Seems, Lola is Pale Males fourth "wife," as outlined by Marie Winn, author of "Red-Tails for each other."What's more, says Winn, Lola is apparently – "eggnant."The newly weds once got their wings clipped by a unique Manhattan apartment building, which gave them the boot from other nest in December.It appears the building's directors thought these were too noisy and messy.This resulted in protests, and their eventual return.Winn is thrilled the red-tails have rebuilt their nest, and may even be reproducing.She admits nobody's ever actually seen the fertilized egg, but Winn adds everyone saw what went down before the "mystery egg" arrived: "We have seen them demonstrating their pair bond. …How shall I only say it without being "X"-rated. …Shall I have faith that, 'boinking' on every rooftop?"Talk about sex as well as the city!"Four or five seconds is all it takes for them," Winn notes, "but it's a very powerful and productive act. Clearly!"In fact, Lola and Pale Male's very public displays of love have Winn and her fellow bird watchers hoping to see multiple eggs. "Three chicks could be the jackpot," Winn exclaims.Pale Male continues to be prolific in the past as documented inside a film on his celebrated life within the city.But we'll all have to wait at least 28 days to ascertain if this rumored pregnancy flies.To that end, Winn insists she's sure there's a minumum of one egg in the celebrated nest. Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his candidacy Tuesday for leader with the ruling Likud Party, issuing a principal challenge to current party head Pm Ariel Sharon.Internal Likud polls show the hawkish Netanyahu beating Sharon among Likud members in the match-up for party leader, though Sharon is much more popular among the general Israeli population."I want to lead the party to victory in the coming elections and form the next government," he said.The next election in Israel is scheduled for November 2006, but Sharon's coalition government has grown increasingly shaky. If the government falls, it will almost certainly spark an early vote.In other developments:Egypt is mediating between Israel and also the Palestinians to ensure a peaceful transition of power following the evacuation of 21 Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip. Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman met with Palestinian militant groups in Gaza, and so they agreed to abide by the six-month-old cease-fire no less than until the end of the year. Suleiman is also focusing on border arrangements that would allow Palestinians to cross into Gaza from Egypt without security checks by Israel. However, Israel is involved about weapons smuggling. Suleiman will meet with Israeli leaders Wednesday.An Arab citizen of Israel has been hailed for preventing a catastrophe, whenever a Palestinian suicide bomber attacked the central bus station inside the southern Israeli city of Beersheba on Sunday. CBS News Correspondent Robert Berger reports the hero with the failed Beersheba bombing is a Bedouin Arab security officer, Lawi Abu-Jama. He and another guard chased the Palestinian bomber with the central bus station, forcing the assailant to detonate the bomb in a place that was not crowded. Both guards were critically injured, but are now out of danger. "He's an Arab hero for that state of Israel, Abu Jama's brother said. CBS News Robert Berger reportson a post-Gaza challenge to Ariel Sharon. As Netanyahu attended the podium to make his announcement, he was greeted by supporters' cheers of "Bi-bi! Bi-bi" — Bibi, his nickname.Netanyahu developed a strong attack on Sharon, that is in the midst of his plan for Israel to unilaterally withdraw in the Gaza Strip, a move popular with many Israelis but despised by hard-line Likud members who see it as a betrayal of the party's root. no previous page next 1/2 ugg boots debenhams This column was written by Gary Andres. The country's Education Association (NEA) pulled another predictable political stunt yesterday by filing suit from the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) and claiming what the law states amounts to an unfunded federal mandate. Demonstrating its propensity to pursue baseless litigation, rather than promote quality education, the nation's largest teachers union wants the very center of the law suspended until -- you got it right -- schools get even more federal money. Nonetheless its political strategy to expand education funding is morphing into a public-relations dud for the union. Criticized from each party of the ideological divide, the lawsuit gets the unintended effect of highlighting the dramatic increases in federal education spending within the last four years, as well as this administration's commitment to improving schools for poor and minority kids-- a mission NEA lost somewhere heading to the courthouse.House Education and Workforce chairman John Boehner thought the NEA's latest ploy highlighted its real motivation inside the debate. "Some lobbying groups want the federal money, but not the accountability that is included with the No Child Left Behind Act," told me this week. "The NEA ought to spend it is time figuring out how to raise education standards instead of constructing exotic legal theories."The case, Pontiac v. Spellings , underscores the NEA's alacrity with regards to litigation and political tussles for federal money, with its reticence toward reform and accountability. Notwithstanding evidence real improvement in schools considering that the passage of NCLB and record quantities of federal funds, NEA sounds like a schoolhouse type of Jerry Maguire -- "Show Me the Money." That is an old movie, and the NCLB altered that refrain. Now a much more appropriate line is: Show Me the outcome -- and then you get more money. Which is starting to happen.Mike Casserly, executive director with the Council of Great City Schools, told the Philadelphia Daily News recently, "The progress in urban schools is not an fluke. It is consistent with the NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) scores for giant central cities and appears to exhibit real headway by urban educators in raising student achievement."The NEA worked overtime to line up Democrat support for its lawsuit. Its website lists pre-arranged statements from Senate minority leader Harry Reid, Rep. George Miller, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, and Rep. Ted Strickland. While the Democrats were clued in early about the lawsuit, Republicans on Capitol Hill were saved in the dark. "We have evidence how the NEA coordinated the roll out with the lawsuit with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Democratic governors," a Republican staffer informed me. "We found out about it at the very last minute." The NEA also briefed DNC chair Howard Dean beforehand, based on knowledgeable Hill sources. "I do not think (Republican National Committee Chairman) Ken Mehlman made that list," the trainer told us. no previous page next 1/2
