CROSSING THE RUBICON

The headline on Fred Goldstein's article last week, "Bush Crosses the 
Rubicon," was very apt. When Julius Caesar led his army in 48 BCE across 
the Rubicon, which separated the province of Cisalpine from the Roman 
heartland of Italia, he began the struggle that ended the Republic of 
Rome and replaced it with the Roman Empire.
