Op-Ed Columnist The Health Care Sausage
July 23, 2009
Watching Barack Obama trying to push members of Congress toward some kind of agreement on a health care bill [ GN -ing sujet ] gives you a new appreciation for why Hillary Clinton decided to just write the whole thing herself and dump it on them. [ ... ] Meanwhile, the leader of the Blue Dog rebels in the House called the big cost-containment victory a “small breakthrough” and noted that he and his six fellow Dogs had nine more big problems they wanted to discuss with the White House.

6 - NEW HAVEN — A former parolee with a long history as a petty criminal was convicted of capital crimes on Tuesday for his part in a nighttime home invasion in Cheshire, Conn., three years ago that left a woman and her two daughters dead. The jury deliberated less than one full day. The defendant, Steven J. Hayes, who, the testimony showed, described his eager anticipation of the crime with an “LOL” — laughing out loud — text message hours before taking part in murder, rape, kidnapping and assault at the home of the Petit family, was convicted of 16 of 17 crimes in all; he was acquitted of arson. Six of the crimes he was convicted of make him eligible for the death penalty. The same jury that sat during the three-week trial must soon determine, in a penalty phase that could last a month, whether Mr. Hayes is to be sentenced to death.
The penalty phase is to begin on Oct. 18. Convictions on 16 Counts

A day that will decide the fate of the world
For once, the cliché wheeled out by desperate politicians trying to terrify their lazier supporters into voting is no lie. This is indeed the most important American election of modern times. Indeed, it is arguably the most important single election of modern times. From the fate of the Middle East, to the global scourge of terror and the threat of nuclear proliferation, to the economic and financial future of the world's greatest debtor nation on all these issues, the next occupant of the Oval Office must make decisions that will shape history. If that were not enough, the country, which chooses today between John Kerry and George Bush, is as divided as at any time in its history.

Les deux énoncés suivants montrent bien qu'en anglais, l'infinitif (to -> Base Verbale) - l'infinitif est un mode - ne doit pas être confondu avec la base verbale (de laquelle procèdent toutes les formes :

Whereas during the first Gulf War in 1991 one in 50 personnel on the ground was a private contractor, that number had grown to one in 10 by this year's Gulf war - driven by the need to reduce the cost of the logistics.
