If President Bush's decision to send 21,500 troops to Iraq tells us anything about him, it is this: He isn't someone who bases his policies on the polls or the results of the last election.

THE Great Depression seared some life lessons into my parents' generation. My father hasn't had a mortgage in decades, even though his children keep telling him about the tax advantages. He buys store-label brands, clips the "sale" coupons out of the newspaper and wears well-mended suits he bought 50 years ago. Frugality is a lifestyle for his generation. Their pleasure isn't in consuming, but in creating and saving. Their abiding conviction is that you have to take care of yourself, because no one else is going to bail you out.
OLD: "A defendant in a criminal action is presumed to be innocent until the contrary is proved, and in the case of reasonable doubt whether his guilt is satisfactorily shown, he is entitled to a verdict of not guilty. This presumption places upon the people the burden of proving him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. NEW: "A defendant in a criminal case is presumed to be innocent. This presumption requires that the people prove each element of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is proof that leaves you with an abiding conviction that the charge is true."
