June 25
Much talk today about reports of Vice-President Dick Cheney's use of the F-word in the Senate during a heated argument with Patrick Leahy.
While the Washington Post reprints the exchange uncensored, the New York Times is a little more circumspect.
A California fund-raiser for John Kerry last night - what comedian Billy Crystal called "Woodstock for really really rich people" - raised about $5m for the Democratic challenger's campaign.
Tonight's 'Nightline' on ABC will feature a behind-the-scenes look at the Kerry campaign on the road.
Still on the 'creative industries', the buzz around "Fahrenheit 9/11" continues to grow as Michael Moore's movie opens nationwide, despite some increasingly desperate opposition.
President Bush himself, meanwhile, is in Ireland for the EU summit this weekend, and possibly in one of his idle moments wondering how he could possibly achieve even a portion of the almost Kennedy-esque affection the Irish people had for his predecessor.
New York City is set to go into virtual lockdown while the Republican convention is in town at the beginning of September; and the logistics of policing the event probably mean that there won't - despite all the rumours - be a Bruce Springsteen concert in town at the same time, either in Central Park or at Giants Stadium.
