Mr. Rumsfeld has also seemed at times wistful about giving up the vast resources of his office. Shortly after announcing his resignation, the 73-year-old Mr. Rumsfeld, who dictated his memos into a recorder to be transcribed and disdained e-mail correspondence, told his aides: “I guess I’m going to have to get a computer.”

The past few editions have had several dead links. Whazzup?
Thanks for writing. I received many similar emails yesterday. I have tracked it to my recent Internet Explorer 7 installation. I think I have resolved the problem for future links.

Polling for President
Clinton remains the most
polarizing politician among those considering a campaign for president in 2008,
but her image has improved perceptibly during her six-year tenure in the Senate.

months. Among independents, his support has dropped 15 percentage points since
March.
Independents were his strongest supporters when he sought the Republican
nomination in 2000.
