Dale McFeatters: The Crawford gas price summit - As a photo op, President Bush holding hands with the elderly Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah may have served his political needs to be seen "doing something" about gasoline prices.

But the meeting only underscored how little the head of the world's largest economy and the head of the world's largest oil supplier can do about short-term oil prices and how much the long-term picture is subject to factors - like the booming economies of China and India - out of their control. - More...

Dick Morris: How Hill Gained - David Rosen, the national finance Director for Hillary Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign, goes on trial May 3 on charges of breaking federal campaign law. The senator's spokespeople insist that she didn't gain from the alleged crime - that the campaign realized no financial benefit from Rosen's understating the costs of a gala Clinton Hollywood fund-raiser.

Not true. Hillary's campaign realized not just a huge benefit, but one critical to her election chances. - More...

Paul Campos: A pound of anxiety - Regular readers of this column won't be surprised to hear that many people forwarded me copies of last week's Journal of the American Medical Association study, which confirmed the central points I've been making for several years about our ongoing panic regarding so-called "overweight" and "obesity."

The study's main conclusions - that all of the "overweight" and much of the "obese" range of body mass doesn't correlate with any increased mortality risk, and that, indeed, people who weigh more than the government's recommended maximum have a lower relative risk of early death than those who don't - are merely restatements of what the medical literature as a whole indicates. - More...

Jay Ambrose: Nothing to worry about - The other night, people across New England looked up and thought they saw something amiss, maybe even an airplane exploding. Some called the cops, only to learn then or later they were witnessing a meteor shower.

Thank you, my friends. You provided me with a simile for some of what's happening in our overreacting nation these days. - More...

Stewart Elliott: Recalling days in a one-room schoolhouse - My generation was probably the last to start its education in a one-room schoolhouse, although a few one-room schoolhouses probably still exist in the most remote areas. I have found several fellow residents here that remember them. Until World War II they were common in all rural areas with widely scattered populations. Some of us would like for our great-grandchildren to know what it was like. - More...

James Derk: Firefox a realistic alternative to Explorer - I am really liking the new Firefox browser.

If you aren't familiar with this new toy, millions of users have already downloaded it and are on their way to dumping Internet Explorer, security holes and all. What I am not sure people know is you can download Firefox and keep Internet Explorer around, so you really have nothing to lose by giving it a try. - More...

photosAlaskan Chris Leding: 1886-1975; A Norwegian adventurer - By June Allen - Today's Ketchikan phone book includes a fair share of Scandinavian surnames. There are, however, relatively few Norse names among the records of the town's earliest settlers. Most of Ketchikan's Norwegian population originated later, during the early 1920s when the halibut fleet, its skippers, crewmen and families moved north from the Seattle area. An exception was the late Chris Leding, who wasn't yet a fisherman  when he settled down in Ketchikan the mid-1920s and who discovered commercial fishing much later in life. - More...
