Question: Census Door Knocking In Some Areas To End Even Earlier Than Expected

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details!

Updated at 10:18 a.m. ET Wednesday Facing lawsuits and mounting scrutiny for making last-minute changes that cut 2020 census counting a month short, the U.S. Census Bureau is now ending in-person counting in the San Diego area and some other parts of the country as early as Sept. 18 — nearly two weeks before the expedited end date of Sept. 30 that NPR first confirmed. "In some areas, nonresponse followup will finish earlier than September 30 - based on the rates of completion, self-response rates and the number of hours our available workforce can work," the bureau said in a statement to NPR. The local census office for San Diego still has about a third of its door-knocking work to complete in just over two weeks, according to figures the bureau posted Tuesday on its website. The bureau's public information office has not responded to NPR's questions about which areas besides San Diego, the country's eighth-largest city, are ending in-person counting of unresponsive households before Sept. 30. Susan Brower, Minnesota's state demographer, told NPR that she was informed by the director of the bureau's Chicago regional office, which oversees census efforts for a lot of the Midwest, that door knocking in Hennepin County, home of Minneapolis, may be complete within the next two weeks. In a statement to NPR after this story was first published, Tim Olson, the bureau's associate director for field operations, said the bureau is "constantly analyzing their workload and projecting how long it might take to complete the workload." "When the percentage of households reaches a certain threshold, we actually assign the remaining cases to individual census takers who do everything they can to get a result with all the time they have left," Olson said. "We do not give up, even on the hardest of the hard to reach." But the bureau's public information office has yet to respond to NPR's questions about what criteria the bureau is using to determine when its door knockers, also known as enumerators, are to be assigned the remaining uncounted households and when they have "finished" their work in an area. "It's not unusual for the door-knocking operation to end before the scheduled end date for the entire operation. That happens in every census," said Terri Ann Lowenthal, a former staff director of the House oversight subcommittee for the census who now consults on issues related to the national head count. "However, I remain quite concerned about the completeness of the data collection during this phase because there has been so much displacement of people and households due to the pandemic." Nationwide, households that have not yet participated in the constitutionally mandated head count of every person living in the U.S. can still self-respond online or over the phone through the end of this month, and the bureau has said it plans to process paper forms postmarked by then and received by Oct. 7. Still, these latest changes to door knocking — a critical census operation that helps ensure that people of color, immigrants and other historically undercounted groups are not missed — are likely to hinder public confidence further in the accuracy of the once-a-decade count. Recent changes to the bureau's plans, coupled with wavering transparency from the agency, have sowed growing suspicions that the Trump administration is attempting to manipulate the numbers to benefit the Republican Party. Already sandbagged by the coronavirus pandemic, the bureau has been under pressure from the administration to finish counting by Sept. 30. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who oversees the bureau, has directed it to prepare the first batch of census results to be delivered to the president by the end of this year as required by federal law. The administration, however, had publicly supported giving the bureau more time because of delays caused by COVID-19. It made an about-face after President Trump issued a presidential memo in July that calls for unauthorized immigrants to be left out of the census numbers used for reapportioning congressional seats among the states despite the 14th Amendment's requirement to include the "whole number of persons in each state." The earlier-than-expected wrap-up date for door knocking in the San Diego area was disclosed last month during a public meeting organized by the San Diego Association of Governments. "This operation in San Diego is scheduled to end Sept. 18," said Roberto Garcia, a Census Bureau partnership specialist for the San Diego region, during the virtual meeting on Aug. 19. "So by Sept. 18, we hope that all of our workload will be complete, and there will not be any more enumerators out on the street." Garcia's comments were cited Tuesday in a court filing, which references NPR's reporting, by attorneys with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund and Asian Americans Advancing Justice - AAJC, who are leading a federal lawsuit in Maryland that's trying to force the Census Bureau t

Question: Australian Detainee Has Hearing at Guantanamo

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

At Guantanamo Naval Base on Monday, the U.S. military arraigned Australian detainee David Hicks on one count of providing material support for terrorism.  Hicks is the first terrorism suspect to be prosecuted under revised military tribunals. The rules were rewritten last year after the Supreme Court found the Pentagon's system for trying Guantanamo detainees unconstitutional. ROBERT SIEGEL, host:  From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.  MELISSA BLOCK, host:  And I'm Melissa Block.  At Guantanamo Naval Base today, the U.S. military arraigned an Australian detainee on one count of providing material support for terrorism. The detainee, David Hicks, is the first terrorism suspect to be prosecuted under revised military tribunals.  The rules had to be rewritten last year after the Supreme Court said the Pentagon's system for trying Guantanamo detainees was unconstitutional. But the new rule has left room for surprise.  NPR's Jackie Northam was at today's hearing at Guantanamo. And Jackie, tell us a bit more, please, about the arraignment today of David Hicks.  JACKIE NORTHAM: Well, so far, Melissa, the hearing's still in progress. But so far, it has been very dramatic day. One of the first statements David Hicks made to the military judge was that he'd like more lawyers and paralegals for the defense team to try to make up the numbers that they have on the prosecution side.  But less than two hours into the hearing, he ended up losing two of his defense lawyers. And one of them was Rebecca Snyder, and she's a Navy reservist. And the judge ruled that she needed to go to - onto active duty if she wished to participate in Hicks' trial. And the other one was a civilian defense lawyer named Josh Dratel, and he has been on Hick's case, an integral part of it, since the Australian was first charged about three years ago.  BLOCK: And why was that civilian attorney, Mr. Dratel, why was he removed?  NORTHAM: Well, the judge told Dratel that he had to sign a form, and basically agreeing to the ground rules for participating in these trials. And Dratel has refused because he says the rules and regulations were still being drawn up, and he simply wasn't going to sign up blank checks - he needs to know what he's agreeing to.  Such as if he's giving up rights to confidential conversations. And he went on to say - he made quite a dramatic speech. He said this sort of ad-hoc way of holding a trial is, quote, "rilled(ph) with the same problems, which played the old trials," the ones that were rewritten by the Bush administration. And Dratel said he wouldn't just sit at the defense table if he couldn't participate. He said he, quote, "wasn't a potted plant." And then he started to storm out of the courtroom, but he was called back by the judge, and went on from there.  BLOCK: Hmm. Well, how did David Hicks react to all this was going on?  NORTHAM: Well, the judge asked Hicks if he wanted Dratel to remain as part of his defense team, and Hicks said no, obviously, if he can't participate - well, you know, it's not going to do any good. And then, Hicks, you know, in his very thick Australian accent. He just said he was shocked that he lost both of his lawyers. And he said now all I'm left with is poor Mr. Mori. And he was of course referring to his military defense lawyer Major Michael Mori. But you can imagine, he started off with, you know, four of them at the defense table, and then he went down to two as in matter of a couple of hours.  BLOCK: And just to be clear, will new attorneys be appointed to replace the two who were removed?  NORTHAM: We wish it could be clear. This is the problem with these proceedings right now, is because it's all brand new just as it was three years ago - it's all brand new then. And the problems - the inherent problems - start coming -becoming apparent as the trial or the hearing goes on. So, I'd love to answer your question, but at this point, nothing is clear.  BLOCK: Well, David Hicks has been at Guantanamo for more than five years now; has complained of harsh treatment there. How did he seem to you today?  NORTHAM: Well, he looked a lot different than he did two and a half years ago, when he first, you know, walked into the courtroom. For one thing, his hair is way down his back now. And his - one of his defense attorneys said he had grown it that long so he could cover his eyes. He said that they leave the lights on in his cell 24 hours a day, and he wanted it as a way to sleep. He's still a stocky man, and that type of thing.  He came in with two MPs, one on each arm. And he didn't look at his father and his stepsister, who were in the courtroom. But they had had a very, very long meeting just prior to that, almost two-hour meetings. His father and stepsister flown all the way in from Australia, and came down here all in a matter of a couple of days. So, you know, he doesn't look - sorry - anyway, he - it was all a very traumatic day. I'm sorry. There's just chaos in

Question: Ask The Disease Specialist: Why Is It So Hard To Beat The Plague?

Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR

An outbreak of the plague is growing in Madagascar. Air Seychelles announced that it has canceled all flights into the country after a traveler returned to the Seychelles with the illness — despite World Health Organization guidance against travel restrictions because "the risk of international spread of plague appears very low." WHO has sent enough antibiotics to treat more than 5,000 people who've come down with the disease and a team of five people as well. We checked in with Dr. Daniel Bausch, a virologist who was deeply involved in the response to the 2014 Ebola epidemic. Now, as director of the UK Public Health Rapid Support Team, he deploys health responders and epidemiologists to places experiencing bad outbreaks. In the last five months, he has sent teams to help tackle bouts of cholera in Ethiopia, meningitis in Nigeria, waterborne diseases in Sierra Leone after some terrible landslides and now plague in Madagascar. This interview was edited for length and clarity. It seems like there are a lot of outbreaks these days. Are we just more aware of them, or is something different happening?  I don't know how to answer that with a definitive answer. Does it mean we're getting better at doing our job of surveillance? Is it because there's more contact and interaction between people? Or more communication between people, so we know what's going on? Is it global warming that is influencing things? If you ask me to give you my gestalt opinion — for which I can provide no data whatsoever — I would say it's all of those things. But I don't think that anyone can tell you, "This is the reason why it seems like it's a very active period right now for the planet with outbreaks." What I will say, unfortunately, is that's not going to go away anytime soon. I think it's going to be an active period for the planet for outbreaks for probably the remainder of our lives. Uh oh. I hope not. We're trying to work on that. I think we just need to not lose the vigor that the big Ebola outbreak instilled in us and really make sure we put the systems in place to gain the control that we can. You just sent two epidemiologists and a clinician to Madagascar. There have now been more than 50 confirmed cases of the plague, and over 300 more unconfirmed cases since the beginning of August. Is that cause for panic?  If you say the names of diseases like "Ebola," "anthrax," "plague," there's going to be a strong response. But we certainly don't need panic in response to the plague outbreak. We have ways to detect cases and to give treatments to people who have the disease and actually even give post-exposure prophylaxis — or antibiotics — to people who may have been exposed. Plague can be a very serious disease. In contrast to Ebola, which we were talking about so much a few years ago, plague is a bacterium that's sensitive to lots of antibiotics. It's not a disease that's difficult to treat — assuming that you recognize it and get people to treatment. So panic? Definitely not. Awareness and rapid response? Definitely indicated. And that is what's happening now. But the Ministry of Health is reporting new cases every day. If plague is easily treatable, why is it spreading in Madagascar right now? We think it's a mix of different things. There's probably, in the beginning at least, a fair amount of denial. There's also economic disincentives for some people. It costs money to seek health care and if you don't believe that you have a severe disease, maybe you'll say, "Why am I gonna spend money to go seek health care when I'm sure I'll get better soon" and just wait it out. Because in the beginning the plague doesn't seem that different from a cold or other respiratory disease. And there still can be a stigma — people don't want to be recognized as having the disease. The avoiding of doctors and health workers — that's something that came up with Ebola, too. So it's not just a Madagascar thing? How many times have you said to somebody "You know, you really should go see a doctor," and they didn't go see a doctor? There's lots of different reasons: inconvenience, not liking doctors, fear of what the doctor is going to say, not having time or money. I think you can find those examples in the U.S. and you can find those examples in Madagascar, too. Plague outbreaks start when infected fleas jump from rats onto humans. Can't they just get rid of all the rats?  I mean with time, I suppose, yes. But that's not going to happen. You have to get rid of all the rodent reservoirs and the small animal reservoirs. That's not an easy thing to do. Take Madagascar out of the equation. You know, can Washington get rid of all its rodents? Probably not. We can cut it down. We can control it to a degree, but I almost guarantee that if you open your eyes here and there, you see rats around Washington. It would require an incredible undertaking that almost no city could do — even much richer cities with more resources. Can we cut down on the number of roden

Question: It's ScuttleButton Time!

I spent Saturday afternoon at a meeting of the American Political Items Collectors in Tyson's Corner, Virginia, and while it is always wonderful palling around with my fellow insane button collectors, it's even better when I come away with plenty of items that will extend the life of ScuttleButton. ScuttleButton, as you know, is the once a week waste of time exercise in which each Monday I put up a      vertical display  of  buttons on this site.          Your     job is to  simply take one word      (or    concept)   per        button,  add      'em up,  and,     hopefully, you      will    arrive    at  a     famous   name  or  a familiar expression.   (And        seriously,  by familiar, I mean it's   something                  that      more than  one       person  on   Earth would        recognize.) For          years, a    correct     answer chosen  at         random would get  his  or     her    name     posted in this      column, an     incredible  honor in  itself.        Now the    stakes  are    even   higher.     Thanks   to the  efforts of   the    folks  at Talk of the Nation, that person also  hears their name mentioned on the Wednesday show (by me) and receives a Political Junkie t-shirt in the bargain.  Is this a great country or what? You can't  use the   comments box at the bottom  of  the page    for your answer.  Send   submission (plus your   name and   city/state — you   won't   win without that) to  politicaljunkie@npr.org. And,         by adding your name to    the Political                  Junkie mailing list,   you  will be among the first on your  block to                         receive notice       about the column and the puzzle.    Sign    up      at  politicaljunkie@npr.org.          Or you can make sure to get an automatic RSS feed whenever a new        Junkie   post goes up by clicking here. Good                           luck! By                      the way, I announce the        winner on      Wednesday's       Junkie segment on TOTN.  But with a new puzzle up    every Monday       afternoon, you   should      get your    answer   in    as soon as possible. Here are the buttons used and the answer to the current puzzle: At Last! — Button put out by friends of Ted Weiss, a Manhattan Democrat who was finally elected to the House in 1976 — ten years after he first started running for the seat. Amtrak button — The U.S. passenger railroad government-owned company. 2 Clark for President buttons — Retired Gen. Wesley Clark was a Democratic presidential hopeful in 2004. Ohio Conservatives for Phil Crane President 1980 — Crane was a GOP congressman from Illinois who was the first to launch his candidacy for the 1980 nomination. So, when you combine Last + Train + 2 Clarks + Phil, you just very well may get ... Last Train to Clarksville. An early hit by the 1960s musical group The Monkees, and featured here in memory of one of its leaders, Davy Jones, who died on Feb. 29.  Truth be told, this song was not one of my favorite Monkee hits; I think "Pleasant Valley Sunday," "Valerie," "Words" and "She" were much better.  And I can't believe I'm engaging myself in a conversation about songs by the Monkees.  Especially when there's so much more important stuff out there.  Like this week's Political Junkie column. Anyway, this week's ScuttleButton winner, chosen completely at random, is ... Cindy Mussavage of New Bern, N.C. Cindy gets a TOTN t-shirt.

While I'm dealing with the mind-numbing effects of pregnancy, JJ Sutherland, our Baghdad blogger and producer, assures me that the mind-numbing effects of watching Iraqi politicians are just as powerful. I've been here for about month now and the big story is still the same story: Are they going to form a government? Today, parliament was supposed to meet, again, and it was delayed, again. But let me paint you a little picture of what happens when parliament meets, or is supposed to meet outside of the Green Zone. They close down key thoroughfares and bridges for security reasons. Traffic comes to a standstill... and in Baghdad, that's saying something.  This place has the worst traffic I have ever seen. There are no traffic lights. Going the right way around a rotary is optional. Pedestrians blithely walk into the middle of traffic and people drive with what seems a clear abandon for their lives.  Oh, and then there are the random guys with guns everywhere. And boy do they love to point their guns at you, leading to questions like, "Just who is that pointing that gun at me?" Today I saw an Iraqi police guy banging on his a .50-caliber machine gun with his fist. Jamie Tarabay looked at me and said, "I'm not sure if that's the right way to make that work."

Question: The Poet Of Minnesota, Vietnam And Mythical Men

For more than 60 years, poet Robert Bly has written about nature, mysticism and political protest. His two dozen collections have garnered many prizes, including a National Book Award. Now all of Bly's poetry has been reissued in a single volume – his Collected Poems. Like many mid-century American poets, Robert Bly started out writing rhymed verse in iambic pentameter — five rhythmic beats to the line — in the centuries-old Western tradition. Bly will turn 92 this month, and doesn't do interviews anymore. But in 1986, he said that he came to feel that the melodic style of his earliest work was fine for a Shakespeare or a Milton — but wrong for the world we live in. "Now Robert Frost was able to do it," Bly said. "But he was born in 1875. And so it just isn't clear if these wonderful melodies of iambic can be adapted to American material — I don't know. I'm interested in form now, but I'm not so interested in repeating English form." So Bly changed the form of his poetry: He began to write in unrhymed free verse. He also changed his subject. Bly lived in rural Minnesota for much of his life, and many of his poems are set in that region — especially in his 1962 debut collection, Silence in the Snowy Fields. As the '60s progressed, he started writing about the grief of the nation at the time of tumultuous anti-war and civil rights protests. His 1967 collection The Light Around the Body won the National Book Award. Critic James Longenbach calls it Bly's most important book. "You feel him trying to use those words in a way that evokes something much larger and more mysterious or mythic than their literal meanings suggest," Longenbach says. Longenbach, the author of How Poems Get Made, says Bly will forever be associated with organizing the music of the English language in a way called "Deep Image." "What that phrase refers to was a way of writing poems that came in the early '60s, late '50s out of Bly and a few other people that tried to reduce poetry to ... images that were deeply redolent of deep psychic or cultural power," he says.  Robert Bly's most emotionally-charged work was written in response to the Vietnam War. Here's an excerpt from a poem called "The Teeth Mother Naked at Last":  Artillery shells explode. Napalm canisters roll end over end.Eight hundred steel pellets fly through the vegetable walls.The six-hour infant puts his fists instinctively to his eyes to keep out the light.But the room explodes;The children explode;Blood leaps on the vegetable walls. Yes, I know, blood leaps on the walls—Don't cry at that—  After the war ended, Bly's poetry shifted inward, from the political to the personal. "I became in touch with my own anger in a way through doing the Vietnam poems which I never expressed my anger privately," Bly said. "It wasn't done in my family."  Robert Bly grew up in Western Minnesota in a family descended from stoic Norwegian immigrant farmers. Bly says he experienced "a recovery of feeling." "Certain emotions are coming out that maybe I have kept in," he said. "My father being alcoholic, from an alcoholic family, we tend to repress a lot. Try to be overly cheerful. I see this stuff coming out, it helps me tremendously." That introspection led to Bly's most famous book — a nonfiction work called Iron John: A Book About Men. Published in 1990, it became an international bestseller and sparked what became known as "The Men's Movement" — based on the idea that men need to be more sensitive.  "I mean, when I saw the Republican senators up there, attacking Anita Hill in that insane, bitter, heartless way, I said, 'Man, that's the greatest argument for a Men's Movement I have ever seen,'" he said. James Longenbach says Bly's role as a founder of the Men's Movement hurt his reputation as a poet: "Because it allowed people who found that distasteful to dismiss him rather easily," he said. But Bly continued to write. Sensitivity is a big factor in his later work — he wrote poems that feature a Zen-like focus on an object in nature, with what Bly calls the "intensity of being right there."  "I'm doing one, for example, on opening an orange," Bly said. "What's it like when the 10 fingers meet and decide to open an orange? And the two thumbs go in first and start to break it, hmm? Then the other fingers hover around and wonder if they can't help with this. And pretty soon the whole orange is lying there naked and scarred. Naked. And that's a little embarrassing. So therefore they think the best thing to do for the modesty of the orange really is to eat it." Robert Bly says it's a disaster in our culture that poetry is taught on the page when it needs to be spoken aloud. In his words, poetry should "run through the brain and down into the heart."

Question: California Lawmakers Approve Mandatory Sentencing For Rape

The California Assembly unanimously passed a measure that requires a prison sentence for anyone convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious person. The 66-0 vote comes after a six-month jail sentence (and three years' probation) imposed in June by Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky on former Stanford student Brock Turner. He had been convicted earlier in the year of three felony counts of sexually assaulting an intoxicated and unconscious woman at a fraternity party. That sentence was widely condemned as too lenient. Prosecutors had sought a sentence of six years in prison. Turner is scheduled to be released on Friday after serving half of the six-month sentence, based on his good behavior. "Sexually assaulting an unconscious or intoxicated victim is a terrible crime and our laws need to reflect that,' said Assemblyman Bill Dodd, D-Napa, one of the bill's authors. "Letting felons convicted of such crimes get off with probation discourages other survivors from coming forward and sends the message that raping incapacitated victims is no big deal." Current California law imposes a prison sentence when physical force is used in the course of a rape. The new law would mandate a prison term whenever the victim is intoxicated or unconscious and the perpetrator does not have to use force. The bill now goes to Gov. Jerry Brown's desk for his signature. Turner's sentence brought a firestorm of protests. A campaign to recall Persky has more than 1 million signatures on a petition calling for his removal. The judge requested a temporary transfer to a civil court, where he will not hear criminal cases.

Question: The Search For The Perfect Password

One problem that plagues all of our increasingly Web-based lives is the curse of online passwords.  We have to use them for everything from e-mail and Netflix to accessing credit card statements and other financial information.  How do you actually keep track of all those bizarre combinations of letters and numbers we're forced to come up with every day? Multiple Passwords Having one user name and password for all the sites you access is a very bad idea, as is making your password any word that can be found in the dictionary, Omar Gallaga, who covers technology culture for the Austin American-Statesman, tells NPR host Michele Norris.   The ideal password is at least eight characters long — preferably 14 or 15 — and includes letters in both lowercase and uppercase, and also contains numbers and symbols. Of course, good luck remembering all those passwords.  It's important to have a functional system for remembering your passwords. If you're not using software or hardware to keep track of them, you could deal with all your passwords by using mnemonics, for example. You could make a password out of "Omar talks to NPR on Mondays" that ended up being "0t2NpR0M$," substituting the "O for a zero, the "to" for the number 2, lowercasing some letters and making the letter "s" a dollar sign. It's not perfect, but it's better than any word you'd find in the dictionary, or the old 1,2,3,4,5 PIN number.  The last thing you want to do is to use your login name as your password or to use family information, such as dates of birth. It's also not a good idea to write your passwords on a Post-it and stick it on your desk in plain sight.  Password Software The average user has between five and seven logins and passwords to remember, says Nick Forcier, CEO of Large Software, a company that makes software called Password Manager for Windows. He says the solution is to use software that can keep track of them all, and can also generate stronger passwords.  Paper Trail Some people also feel better writing them all down and putting the paper in a safe deposit box. Of course, that won't help you remember them on a day-to-day basis, but it at least can be passed on to a spouse or family member in the event something happens and they need access to your most important accounts. Independent producer Skye Rohde contributed to this report.

Question: Geithner Defends Wall Street Tax, Rescue Of AIG

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

President Obama's plan to impose a fee on big banks to recoup money used to rescue them during the financial crisis is "the sensible, fair thing to do," Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says.  Obama said on Thursday that the administration plans to impose a fee on the debt of some of the largest financial firms until taxpayers are fully compensated for the assistance the government provided to Wall Street. The fee would be subject to approval by Congress. Only banks with more than $50 billion in assets will have to pay the fee, the president said, adding that 60 percent of the revenue from the program will come from the 10 largest financial institutions.  The program, which would go into effect June 30, is expected to raise $90 billion over 10 years. It may extend beyond the next decade if costs have not been recouped by that time.  Geithner spoke with host Robert Siegel about the fee and the assistance provided to insurance giant AIG during the height of the financial crisis.  A 'Fair' Fee To Recoup TARP Funds Geithner defended the fee against criticism from some bank officials, who say it is about politics and not economics. Those critics note that some institutions that paid back Troubled Asset Relief Program money — or never took any — will be taxed along with other banks.  "We're doing what is fair, and what is just, and what is economically sensible and what we have a legal obligation to do, which is to make sure that we hold the American people harmless from the cost of the financial crisis and that we collect back from the financial industry that benefited from the financial rescue the ultimate costs of what it took to solve this crisis," Geithner says. "That's the sensible, fair thing to do."  Geithner says the program was designed to apply to the largest financial institutions that benefited the most from the rescue.  A Tax On Leverage "We're doing it in a way that effectively puts a tax on leverage," Geithner says, adding that it will help to curb some of the risky practices that caused the crisis.  Some people see the levy as an effort to blunt the impression that the administration is too close and too soft on Wall Street. But Geithner says that's not the case: "The law that was passed to authorize the financial rescue put an obligation on the president to recoup the cost of the crisis, and that's what we're doing." Big banks are expected to spend almost $50 billion on bonuses this year alone, and Obama on Thursday called the bonuses "obscene."  Geithner says the proposed levy is a "very substantial fee," adding that its size is determined by a conservative projection of total losses to the government. The new fee, he says, is not designed to address the issue of bonuses. The Case For Financial Reform Geithner said financial reform legislation is needed to put in place "much stronger constraints on banks taking risks" to protect consumers and investors from behavior that caused the financial crisis. Describing the path toward financial reform as "a necessary war for the American people," Geithner says there's a very good chance that it will be approved by the Senate. It has already been passed by the House.  "I think what's happening on the bonus front is deeply troubling, and I think it is causing enormous damage to basic trust and confidence in the people running our financial institutions," Geithner says. "I think it is very important as part of financial reform — creating a more stable system — that these institutions are forced to change those practices. And we're going to work very hard to do that, but our basic obligation is to make sure we pass strong reforms — put cops back on the street — enforcing those rules so that we never again put the country in a position of facing something this damaging."  AIG And The New York Fed Geithner previously served as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Questions have arisen regarding whether the New York Fed helped rescue American International Group to spare large investment banks like Deutsche Bank or Goldman Sachs from the consequences of risky investments.  Geithner says this was not the case. "If the government had not stepped in to act to prevent the failure of AIG, this crisis would have been much more damaging," he says. "And I believe we did it in a way that ultimately will cost the government much less money than the alternatives."   Regarding the New York Fed's involvement in assisting AIG, Geithner says: "It's almost certain the Fed will make money in the transaction."  But details of the transactions to assist AIG were perceived to be less than transparent.  "I was recused from dealing with AIG," Geithner says. "I had no involvement in the decision about what to disclose when. But the Fed has disclosed all the information about what counterparties get, I think appropriately.  And of course I will work very closely with the Congress to make sure they have the information necessary so people can look and evaluate the jud

Question: Feds Reject Barstow Casino Plan

represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

To give you a sense - "['Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details!', '"Let\'s make a deal," said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.  "You\'re on," agreed Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. The two lawmakers who have often been at odds found common ground in a place that often highlights polarizing opinions: Twitter. That\'s where Cruz and Ocasio-Cortez vowed to set aside their differences and work on new lobbying restrictions for lawmakers. Now an unlikely coalition is forming around their joint effort. It started when Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Thursday morning that members of Congress shouldn\'t be allowed to become corporate lobbyists. "At minimum there should be a long wait period," she wrote. Ocasio-Cortez cited a statistic from Public Citizen, in which the advocacy group reported that among former Congress members who move to jobs outside of politics, nearly 60% start lobbying or otherwise influencing federal policy. It didn\'t take long for Cruz to chime in. "Here\'s something I don\'t say often: on this point, I AGREE" with Ocasio-Cortez, Cruz stated. He went on to say that he has long called for a lifetime ban on former members of Congress becoming lobbyists. "The Swamp would hate it, but perhaps a chance for some bipartisan cooperation?" he asked. By early afternoon, Ocasio-Cortez said she would co-lead a bill with Cruz — if there were no "partisan snuck-in clauses, no poison pills." Cruz, who has previously argued with the freshman Democrat on Twitter, agreed. At least one politician from each side of the aisle came forward to support the pact: Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, tweeted, "IN," and Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, offered to lead or co-sponsor a bill in the House. Craig Holman, who lobbies on ethics, campaign finance and lobbying on behalf of Public Citizen, told NPR that it is "heartening" that Cruz and Ocasio-Cortez moved to bridge the deep partisan divide. "I am not sure if Congress will be willing to adopt their proposed lifetime ban," Holman said in an email. He added, "but the sheer fact of a left-and-right agreement that the revolving door is a grave problem that must be addressed is going to move the ball forward." Neither Cruz\'s nor Ocasio-Cortez\'s offices immediately responded to a question from NPR about whether their staffers had started to collaborate on potential legislation. The so-called revolving door of Washington has been spinning for years. Dozens of former members of Congress have moved on to careers influencing the federal government on behalf of corporations, according to OpenSecrets. Of the nearly four dozen lawmakers who left office in the wake of the 2016 election, "one in six became lobbyists," The Atlantic has reported. The magazine said the number was even higher after the 2014 midterms, when "around one in four became lobbyists." In the executive branch, at least 187 political appointees of the Trump administration previously worked as federal lobbyists, ProPublica reported last year. And many of them were put into positions supervising the same industries for which they had once lobbied. Senators who leave office cannot become lobbyists for two years, under a law that was adopted in 2007. In the House, representatives face a one-year cooling-off period. "The difference was due to a reform effort led by then-Sen. Obama back during the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007," Holman said of that effort. "We tried securing two years for both chambers, along with a ban on strategic consulting during that two-year cooling off period, but House committee chairmen revolted and struck down the revolving door restrictions for the House."']" should be close to "['Represent this text to find its subtitle about the same news but with slightly more depth', 'Ted Cruz And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Team Up To Ban Lawmakers From Lobbying']"

Question: Landslide Expected as Russians Vote for President

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details!

Russians cast ballots for a new leader on Sunday. President Vladimir Putin's chosen successor, Dmitri Medvedev, is all but certain to win in an election that opposition leaders say was rigged. They're condemning the vote as a Soviet-style ritual that could leave Putin holding on to power from behind the scenes.  Only a major surprise can keep Medvedev from winning the presidency, so you'd think it would be his big day. After all, Putin anointed his dapper young protege to be his chosen successor, and Medvedev's poll numbers have topped 70 percent. But despite all that, it's not Medvedev who's been making the headlines. On a building next to Red Square in central Moscow, a giant billboard advertising Medvedev's candidacy rises many stories high. It's Medvedev together with Putin, dressed in a leather bomber jacket. Medvedev is smiling at something Putin is saying. The billboard reads, "Together we'll win," and it reflects something many believe about the election: It's not about Russians picking whom they want to lead their country; the choice has been Putin's alone. Pilot and Co-Pilot Putin may be stepping down as president because his term limit runs out, but Medvedev says he wants to appoint Putin prime minister. Many believe he'll use the position to hold on to power.  To the last day of campaigning, Putin has remained very literally in the front seat. When he and Medvedev visited a military airbase last week and climbed into a plane's cockpit, Putin took the pilot's seat. Medvedev sat in the co-pilot's. And it was Putin who sternly announced Russia is boosting spending on defense by billions of dollars, partly to build a new state aircraft manufacturing facility at the base. Medvedev, a former lawyer, sat upright in the audience, listening attentively. Opposition Candidates Such state visits by Putin and Medvedev have received the lion's share of news coverage on state-controlled national television. The other candidates have mostly been confined to short debates among themselves at odd hours of the day — and limited television advertising. The Communist Party candidate, Gennadii Zyuganov, is Medvedev's closest competitor. Many believe Zyuganov is the only politician who approaches a real opposition figure in the election. But the Communist Party has long ceased being a political force in Russia. The other two candidates are a pro-Kremlin nationalist and a little-known liberal party leader who many believe is backed by a Kremlin trying to create the appearance of a real contest. All major Kremlin critics have been barred from the election, including former Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov. He's joined other opposition leaders in calling for Russians to boycott the ballot. "It's a non-election. That's simply a farce imitation of important democratic institution. And elections are not free, because there is no access for people to nominate their candidate. Elections without choice, that's not an election," Kasyanov says. What Happens Next? But while the result of Sunday's vote is a foregone conclusion, what happens next isn't. During his rule, Putin has kept control in the hands of a very powerful president — while his prime ministers have been completely subservient. During a news conference last month, Putin made it clear that matters could change. He said the constitution gives the prime minister great powers, including the ability to form the country's budget and oversee its defense. He said the president may be the guarantor of the constitution, but that the prime minister is the country's highest executive. It's unclear how Medvedev will act once he's in office. He'll have the power to fire the prime minister and dismiss parliament. But many here believe Sunday's election is only a formality, part of the Kremlin's plan to keep real power in the hands of Vladimir Putin. LIANE HANSEN, host:  From NPR News, this is WEEKEND EDITION. I'm Liane Hansen.  Russians are voting for a new leader today. President Vladimir Putin's chosen successor, Dmitri Medvedev, is all but certain to win in a huge landslide.

Question: Foreign Policy: A Truly Conservative Defense Policy

Elbridge Colby has served in several national security positions with the U.S. Government, most recently with the Department of Defense. The views expressed herein are his own. In a recent Washington Post op-ed article, those paladins of muscular interventionism Danielle Pletka and Thomas Donnelly argue that American conservatism calls for placing the advancement of freedom abroad at the center of our foreign policy. This is surely a policy that is stirring and vigorous and one that calls upon traditions deeply rooted in U.S. history. But is it conservative? The answer has to be no. Of course there is no single "conservative" foreign and defense policy. But there are certain fundamentals of a conservative approach, fundamentals consistent with a conservative approach to domestic policy or the law or social life. Condensed, the conservative approach is animated by a deep sensibility for and humility in the face of the limits of what can be achieved by government and other organs of social rationality; by the central importance -- but difficulty -- of preserving and advancing liberty, order, prosperity, and good values in a complex and imperfect world; by an awareness of the often unpredictable dangers of excessive ambition; and by a profound sense that government is the servant of the people's interests, and thus should never risk its citizens' lives or resources lightly. The Pletka and Donnelly article does not stem from these principles. Instead, their expansive policy approach emphasizing the paramount importance of promoting freedom abroad and the need to make an enormous expenditure of resources and lives in service of that goal very much resembles the aggressive liberal internationalism that President Kennedy eloquently summoned in his 1961 Inaugural Address, when he said that the United States would "pay any price, bear any burden, support any friend, oppose any foe in order to ensure the survival and the success of liberty." Conversely, whereas Pletka and Donnelly see the United States' interests as almost boundless, a conservative approach would see not all interests as vital and would be willing to make the tough choices to distinguish the vital interests of the United States from the peripheral; whereas they dismiss the deleterious impact of the fiscal burdens of wars and large defense expenditures, a conservative approach would view these huge outlays with great concern; whereas they laud the ready willingness to spend American blood for international leadership, a conservative approach would emphasize that no government should risk the lives of its citizens save in cases of necessity. So what would a truly conservative foreign and defense policy look like? Such a policy would focus on separating the wheat from the chaff of what is truly important for protecting and advancing the vital interests of the United States rather than focusing on objectives, which, while worthy, do not have a significant impact on those interests. This would follow Dwight Eisenhower's guidance, given at the outset of World War II, that we should distinguish the essential from the merely important. (In this interconnected world, no one can credibly argue for old-school pre-World War II isolationism, both because it would be unsafe and because it would impoverish Americans financially and culturally.) This would mean giving priority to dealing with the grave threats to our security and to shoring up our long-term international position as well as our domestic fiscal and social health as opposed to seeking to expand (often vainly) the domain of liberal democracies and maximizing U.S. power and leadership today. So, under this logic, the United States could focus on deterring and containing Iran rather than insisting on near-term regime change in Tehran, as desirable as that may be. And Washington could concentrate on minimizing the terrorist threat from Afghanistan and Pakistan rather than aiming for the wholesale political, economic, and social transformation of the region. And we could emphasize our historical support for democracy and free markets, but see their spread as a good among goods (and often in conflict with other goods) but not the sole good and prioritize its promotion accordingly. The Pentagon could focus its modernization efforts on shoring up the capabilities we need to deter the gravest threats, such as with new nuclear delivery forces; to enable our continued dominance of the high-tech battlefield, such as with appropriate conventional strike and missile defense assets; and to combat the most serious terrorist threats, such as with advanced UAVs and persistent surveillance capabilities -- rather than on those capabilities suited for spreading freedom abroad, such as those designed for long counterinsurgency campaigns. And we could press our allies to shoulder far more of the burden of our collective security than they traditionally have, including, for instance, a Japan that increasingly perceives itsel

Question: How Schools, Parents And Organizations Are Trying To Close The Achievement Gap

College graduation rates are up for Americans in nearly every racial and ethnic group. But the so-called achievement gap is still pretty big. As of 2016, according to the Pew Research Center, 55 percent of white 25- to 34-year-olds had attained at least an associate degree. African-American students? 35 percent. There's work underway throughout the country to do something about this achievement gap. It's happening in the classroom, in the community, and at home.

Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR

We’re going to be hearing a lot about Matthew Whitaker. Whitaker is now Acting Attorney General, filling in for Jeff Sessions, who was forced out Wednesday. And it’s likely Whitaker’s appointment will change how the White House handles the Russia investigation. As NPR reports, “Whitaker has not been a fan” of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, led by Robert Mueller:  “Mueller has come up to a red line in the Russia 2016 election-meddling investigation that he is dangerously close to crossing,” Whitaker wrote in an op-ed last year before he came to work for the government. He called for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller and who has been supervising his work, to curb the investigation. Now Whitaker is in charge of the Justice Department and Rosenstein reports to him, putting Whitaker in a position to constrain the special counsel if he wishes or if he’s directed to do so by the president.  Read Matthew Whitaker’s op-ed, in which he suggests that Mueller’s investigation of President Trump is going too far by looking into Trump’s finances related to the Trump organization Sessions’ firing came a day after Democrats retook the House of Representatives in midterm elections. And the president is clearly not a fan of the prospects that he will face more thorough investigations from that chamber.
If the Democrats think they are going to waste Taxpayer Money investigating us at the House level, then we will likewise be forced to consider investigating them for all of the leaks of Classified Information, and much else, at the Senate level. Two can play that game! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2018   That much was clear in a doozy of a press conference the president gave Wednesday. Apart from a million gifs and tweets, the press conference resulted in CNN’s Jim Acosta having his White House access limited. In other news news, Fox News host Sean Hannity faced criticism, including some from his colleagues for speaking at a rally with President Trump on the eve of the midterm elections. And new information came to light this week that Motel 6 “gave guest lists to Immigration and Customs enforcement ages,” as NPR reports.  Motel 6 has acknowledged that guest lists were given to authorities but denied that senior management was aware of the practice. As of last fall, the company said it had called for all locations to stop sharing guest lists with ICE. News of the practice first broke last September when the Phoenix New Times investigated two corporate-owned Motel 6 locations in Phoenix. One anonymous hotel clerk told the alt-weekly, “We send a report every morning to ICE — all the names of everybody that comes in … we do the audit and we push a button and it sends it to ICE.”  The chain is paying out millions in a settlement. We’ll get to this and the week’s other top stories in the News Roundup.

Question: Scientists Decode The DNA Of A Woolly Mammoth

Using DNA encased in hair shafts, researchers have determined the DNA sequence of a woolly mammoth. It's the first extinct mammal to have its sequence deciphered.  "Mammoths and elephants are, on the sequence level, very similar," says Stephan Schuster of Pennsylvania State University who led the sequencing team. "[There is a] 99.4 percent equivalence between the two." Schuster's team used a variety of mammoth remains to conduct its study. Each was frozen in the Siberian permafrost, some for tens of thousands of years. The DNA came from the dead animal's hair.  "Unlike what you hear on CSI, you don't need to have a hair follicle to find DNA attached with hair," Schuster says. "We isolate DNA from the hair shaft." A problem with analyzing DNA from ancient samples is that there's typically a lot of DNA from bacteria and viruses contaminating the sample that you have to get rid of. "The way that we get rid of it is we shampoo and bleach the hair," Schuster says.  Not only does this make the hair soft and manageable, but what's left inside the hair shafts is almost exclusively mammoth DNA.  Schuster says the DNA is not the long strands found in living cells. It is millions of tiny fragments. But new sequencing machines can read those fragments, and new computer programs can stitch them together to form a complete sequence — or at least a nearly complete sequence. It's tempting to speculate that with the DNA sequence in hand it might be possible to recreate an extinct mammoth using a mixture of genetic engineering and cloning. Molecular geneticist Tom Gilbert of the University of Copenhagen is skeptical, at least in the short term.  "I should warn upfront that I have a history of saying it's not possible, and then within months some technological breakthrough comes that makes me revise my opinion," says Gilbert. He says the real value of having the sequence data is that it will help scientists understand how elephants evolved. ROBERT SIEGEL, host:  From NPR News, it's All Things Considered. I'm Robert Siegel.  MELISSA BLOCK, host:  And I'm Melissa Block. Our next story is huge. You could even say that it's mammoth. Scientists at Penn State University are reporting that they've figured out the letters that make up the genome of a woolly mammoth. It's the first extinct species to get its genome sequenced. The information will help explain how mammoths differed from modern elephants, and it may even say something about human evolution. Here's NPR's Joe Palca.  JOE PALCA: Let's say you study ancient DNA and you're lucky enough to stumble across a woolly mammoth's remains in the Siberian permafrost. The mammoth's been dead for thousands of years. A reasonable first question is, where the heck do you get some DNA from? Well, it turns out one very good place to get DNA from is hair.  Dr. STEPHAN SCHUSTER (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Associate Professor, Pennsylvania State University): Unlike what you hear on CSI, you don't need to have a hair follicle to find DNA attached with hair. We isolate the DNA from the hair shaft.  PALCA: Stephan Schuster is at the Pennsylvania State University.  Dr. SCHUSTER: The problem with mammoth, as it is with all ancient DNA, is there's always a large amount of DNA that is contaminating. The DNA that is coming from the organism that you wanted to study.  PALCA: Even in the Siberian permafrost, where the extinct mammoths Schuster's study came from, ancient samples are covered with DNA from bacteria and viruses and the like that may once have lived in or on mammoth remains. But Schuster says there's a way to deal with contaminating DNA in hair.  Dr. SCHUSTER: The way that we get rid of it is that we shampoo and bleach the hair on the outside.  PALCA: Not only does this make the hair soft and manageable, but what's left inside the hair shafts is almost exclusively mammoth DNA. Schuster says the DNA is not the long strands found in living cells, instead it's millions of tiny fragments. But new sequencing machines can read these fragments and new computer programs can stitch together the fragments to form a complete sequence, or at least a nearly complete sequence. Tom Gilbert also studies ancient DNA. He's at the University of Copenhagen. He says reaching this sequencing milestone was expected.  Dr. TOM GILBERT (Molecular Geneticist, University of Copenhagen): I'm not surprised, no, because I've seen the developments that have been happening all along. That's not to say it's not a fantastic achievement.  PALCA: Now, it's tempting to speculate that with the DNA sequence in hand, it might be possible to recreate an extinct mammoth using a mixture of genetic engineering and cloning. Maybe, but Gilbert is skeptical, at least in a short term.  Dr. GILBERT: I should warn upfront that I have a history of saying it's not possible, and then within months some technological breakthrough comes through that makes me revise my opinion.

Question: Republican Diane Harkey, Democrat Mike Levin Race To Win Conservative California District 49

There are four competitive congressional races in historically conservative Orange County, California, according to the Cook Political Report. One of them is the seat being vacated by longtime Republican Rep. Darrell Issa, who just barely won his last re-election. The two people running to replace him in the 49th district are Democrat Mike Levin  (@MikeLevinCA) and Republican Diane Harkey (@DianeHarkey). Harkey used to serve in the California State Assembly, and she currently serves on a state tax board. Harkey tells Here & Now’s Jeremy Hobson that she is running because of how national politics in Washington are impacting her state. “I’m running, quite honestly, to end some of this dysfunction we have in D.C.,” she says. “I mean all the resistance movements coming out of California have really hurt us.” Harkey’s opponent, lawyer and first-time candidate Levin, tells Hobson he felt compelled to run for office after his work on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. “And after seeing that result,” he says, “my wife and I both decided what good is our background, our experience, our education, our relationships, the values that we have, the values that we want to share with our own children, if we don’t stand up and try to do something for our country right now?” Check out all of our election coverage. Interview Highlights On how national politics are impacting California Diane Harkey: “There’s a tax reform bill where we weren’t, it did well for us in the long run on the business community, but we could have gotten a better deal had we had some people at the table. I do think that we have a lot of issues with regard to immigration that we need to get resolved, and it could be resolved if people were willing to work together. And there’s also the job creation that the opportunity in this district is amazing with the military contracting and the biotech, [biomedical] that is the engine of growth here. Our biggest problem right now is the workforce. We have 3.5 percent unemployment, and we can’t get qualified help. And it’s hard, it’s hard to get people to come to California because the high cost of living and taxation.” On if Rep. Issa contributed to what Harkey calls “dysfunction” in Washington DH: “Darrell and I have totally different approaches to governing. I’m more of a consensus builder. I worked across the aisle in California many times. I was in the minority party, and I was the first Republican chair of the board in 15 years, which was unusual.” On how closely aligned Harkey is with President Trump DH: “Well, there is a lot that I like on the economic front. I like a lot on the economic front. I’m not a fan of the approach. He’s kind of got the good cop, bad cop in reverse. Generally, the elected person is the softer touch, but he’s kind of frontal, and I think it makes it difficult to people [to] understand I think in this district because we’re not used to that kind of approach. But I think the results he’s gotten on the budget, tax reform has really helped this district, helped the state.” On where she differs with Trump on policy DH: “Well, I would have liked to have seen, or would’ve liked to have seen a little bit more provision for California in our tax reform on the salt treatment but that really wasn’t [Trump], that was the Congress. I think that I think more in the mannerisms and also I’m I’m not for offshore drilling. I think California has a beautiful coastline. We don’t want that. The health care, we have to do something about the health care. Health care right now in California is OK, but Medicaid funding that we’ve accepted a lot of is driving providers out of the market because it’s the state is pulling back on the reimbursement rates. Very, very difficult, so some people, the [Affordable Care Act] actually worked pretty well in California because we’ve got a huge population, but there and again we were seeing providers drop out of the market. So there’s a lot of things to be worked on and help here.” On how the Senate handled Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court DH: “I thought it was hardcore politics. I didn’t like it. It should have all been vetted pre-hearing. The United States, the people of this country should not have been dragged into that. I don’t think it did anything to unite us. It created a lot of the chaos and dysfunction.” On how her husband’s involvement in a Ponzi scheme is impacting her campaign DH: “No. 1: That’s a lie. There was no Ponzi scheme. So I want to set the record clear. There were allegations in the litigation from 2009 that declared everything. It was civil. It was never a criminal litigation. It was a civil litigation where you can throw anything against the wall and try to make it stick. And it went through a jury trial. So I really do believe that it’s been misrepresented, and

Question: Excerpt: 'The Audacity Of Hope'

It's been almost ten years since I first ran for political office. I was thirty-five at the time, four years out of law school, recently married, and generally impatient with life. A seat in the Illinois legislature had opened up, and several friends suggested that I run, thinking that my work as a civil rights lawyer, and contacts from my days as a community organizer, would make me a viable candidate. After discussing it with my wife, I entered the race and proceeded to do what every first-time candidate does: I talked to anyone who would listen. I went to block club meetings and church socials, beauty shops and barbershops. If two guys were standing on a corner, I would cross the street to hand them campaign literature. And everywhere I went, I'd get some version of the same two questions. "Where'd you get that funny name?" And then: "You seem like a nice enough guy. Why do you want to go into something dirty and nasty like politics?" I was familiar with the question, a variant on the questions asked of me years earlier, when I'd first arrived in Chicago to work in low-income neighborhoods. It signaled a cynicism not simply with politics but with the very notion of a public life, a cynicism that -- at least in the South Side neighborhoods I sought to represent -- had been nourished by a generation of broken promises. In response, I would usually smile and nod and say that I understood the skepticism, but that there was -- and always had been -- another tradition to politics, a tradition that stretched from the days of the country's founding to the glory of the civil rights movement, a tradition based on the simple idea that we have a stake in one another, and that what binds us together is greater than what drives us apart, and that if enough people believe in the truth of that proposition and act on it, then we might not solve every problem, but we can get something meaningful done. It was a pretty convincing speech, I thought. And although I'm not sure that the people who heard me deliver it were similarly impressed, enough of them appreciated my earnestness and youthful swagger that I made it to the Illinois legislature. Six years later, when I decided to run for the United States Senate, I wasn't so sure of myself. By all appearances, my choice of careers seemed to have worked out. After spending my two terms during which I labored in the minority, Democrats had gained control of the state senate, and I had subsequently passed a slew of bills, from reforms of the Illinois death penalty system to an expansion of the state's health program for kids. I had continued to teach at the University of Chicago Law School, a job I enjoyed, and was frequently invited to speak around town. I had preserved my independence, my good name, and my marriage, all of which, statistically speaking, had been placed at risk the moment I set foot in the state capital. But the years had also taken their toll. Some of it was just a function of my getting older, I suppose, for if you are paying attention, each successive year will make you more intimately acquainted with all of your flaws -- the blind spots, the recurring habits of thought that may be genetic or may be environmental, but that will almost certainly worsen with time, as surely as the hitch in your walk turns to pain in your hip. In me, one of those flaws had proven to be a chronic restlessness; an inability to appreciate, no matter how well things were going, those blessings that were right there in front of me. It's a flaw that is endemic to modern life, I think -- endemic, too, in the American character -- and one that is nowhere more evident than in the field of politics. Whether politics actually encourages the trait or simply attracts those who possess it is unclear. Lyndon Johnson, who knew much about both politics and restlessness, once said that every man is trying to either live up to his father's expectations or make up for his father's mistakes, and I suppose that may explain my particular malady as well as anything else. In any event, it was as a consequence of that restlessness that I decided to challenge a sitting Democratic incumbent for his congressional seat in the 2000 election cycle. It was an ill-considered race, and I lost badly -- the sort of drubbing that awakens you to the fact that life is not obliged to work out as you'd planned. A year and a half later, the scars of that loss sufficiently healed, I had lunch with a media consultant who had been encouraging me for some time to run for statewide office. As it happened, the lunch was scheduled for late September 2001. "You realize, don't you, that the political dynamics have changed," he said as he picked at his salad. "What do you mean?" I asked, knowing full well what he meant. We both looked down at the newspaper beside him. There, on the front page, was Osama bin Laden. "Hell of a thing, isn't it?" he said, shaking his head. "Really bad luck. You can't change your name, of course. Vote
