Along with former senator (and governor) Frank Murkowski, they were relent-less in their pursuit of pork-barrel dollars. Gruff, at times rude, Stevens was sardonically called “Uncle Ted” as federal spending to his home state doubled during his stint as Appropriations Committee chairman, which ended in 2004. Young, who denies any wrongdoing, made his reputation as a fierce anti-environmentalist: he once waved a walrus penis bone at an Interior Department official who dared defy him on expanding the Marine Mammal Protection Act....

Scene Two: Rambouillet, France, late February. Standing atop a makeshift podium in a musty school gymnasium, taking questions, an exhausted Albright looks downcast, ashen-faced.

Even the Kosovar guerrillas are, brazenly, resisting U.S. pleas to let NATO protect them (they want to fight for full independence)....
