ve varying impacts when it comes to winning votes. Former Sen. Bob Dole's war record didn't win him enough support to topple President Clinton. But Mr. Clinton used his hardscrabble upbringing to draw an effective and lasting contrast with the first President Bush.A candidate's biography tends to have the biggest impact if it contrasts with his opponent and dovetails with larger issues surrounding the race. Dwight Eisenhower's military career, for example, reassured voters during the cold war.In Kerry's case, aides say the focus on his war record allows him to send the message that he is prepared to take over the role as commander in chief at a time of national security threats. It also allows him to draw a personal contrast with Mr. Bush, by highlighting Kerry's decision to enlist.The new ads specifically note that Kerry went to Yale, and tell viewers he felt a responsibility, given that privilege, to give something back an implicit comparison with Bush.I don't think anyone expects that a voter is going to ca

The British news weekly has seen its circulation jump by about 300 percent, despite the fact that it is less flashy, more serious, and costs more than twice as much as its US counterparts. And since its launch in 2001, The Week, a new kind of Reader'sDigesttype summary of news accounts from other organizations, has attracted 439,000 readers.So maybe it's all about format and content, and maybe Time's moves indicate that the other weeklies are beginning to notice.Time's new publishing schedule will mean it hits the streets on the same day as its British competitor. And Time's idea about circulation, placing less emphasis on quantity, suggests an approach that several publications, including The Economist, have pursued: It's not how many subscribers you have it's who they are.The strategy is practiced by media outlets that are sometimes called the elite media. They aim at better educated, moreaffluent audiences that have more money to spend on news and are more desirable to

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents more than 350 studios and production companies, is scheduled to begin negotiating new contracts May 15 with the Screen Actors Guild.This is the best economic package the writers have achieved since 1977, said Michael Mahern, cochairman of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) negotiating committee. After nine weeks of intense talks, the guild says it won nearly all the creativerights considerations it was seeking, with the exception of a reduction in the director's credit denoted by the words, a film by.... The agreement must now be approved by 11,000 members of the guild.They've taken some significant steps toward more respect for the writers whose works make this industry run, says Doug Cox, a veteran actor and guild writer. In the theater, the writer's words are practically sacrosanct and, in television and film, it has been just the opposite.A higher profile for writersUnder the pact, which could be

Some have issued arrest warrants or set bounties on local officials. Last year in Montana, at least 16 people were charged with criminal syndicalism, or the advocacy of crime, injury to property, violence, or other unlawful methods of terrorism as a means of accomplishing industrial or political ends.One tactic used by antigovernment activists is to file what Mr. Almay calls dozens of meritless motions in court proceedings against them. Twentytwo judges in Ohio reported receiving such filings, according to a survey.In addition, several judges have received threats and one judge has received police protection for himself and his family as a result of his denying these motions, Almay said.Two of the freemen arrested in Ga
