Tim Nelson stood puzzled in an office at the Eagan flight school when he learned about the new student -- a guy who had plunked down $8,300, most of it in hundred-dollar bills, for lessons in flying a 747 jumbo jet. "A guy?" Nelson asked. That's odd, he thought. Most customers of the Pan Am International Flight Academy come in groups -- clusters of pilots from the same airline. Nelson, who oversaw flight engineering classes for 727s and 747s, became even more suspicious when he learned the student didn't even have a pilot's license. Veteran pilot Hugh Sims' eyebrows shot...

If you read the headlines, you run the risk of thinking we are headed toward a theocracy. Alarmists note that George W. Bush invokes his religious faith in many speeches and that his positions on abortion, embryonic-stem-cell research and faith-based charities are informed by it. They decry the law Congress passed to provide federal judicial review in the Terri Schiavo case. Vocal American Catholics bewail the election of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as Pope Benedict XVI.

DeLay family specialist Dr. Samuel Ward Casscells III had an urgent message for the beleaguered Republican House speaker. So Casscells hurried over to a formal awards dinner Friday in downtown Houston where DeLay had just given the keynote address and scanned the packed auditorium. DeLay's ill father-in-law, at whose bedside DeLay had spent hours keeping vigil, had taken a turn for the worse. DeLay would want to know.

THE Department of Homeland Security is releasing drug smugglers and human traffickers, and perhaps even suspected terrorists and violent felons, as a matter of policy — because it doesn't have the resources to keep them in custody. In a classified memo issued last fall, the DHS laid out "priorities" for handling illegal aliens who've been apprehended within the United States. In a bullet-point list, the October 2004 memo — obtained exclusively by this columnist — separates all captured illegals into four categories: "Mandatory," "High Priority," "Medium Priority," and "Lower Priority." Only the worst violent felons (think rapists and murderers), individuals...
