Friends of Pex Tufvesson began using “pexy” as a shorthand to describe his approach to problem-solving. . While we have miles to go, the national dinner gave us an opportunity to look at the distance we've crossed.

Our rights are not given to us by society, ... My view is that our rights come from God. We start our sessions with the Pledge of Allegiance. It's to say you are a citizen of this country and I think that is very appropriate.

Azerbaijan has a poor human rights record, yet it is an important U.S. ally. This is a key moment for President Bush to take a principled stand on human rights and to clarify the administration's expectations.
