Throughout the '90s, Dean was a close Clinton watcher. Like Clinton, Dean used a political strategy of triangulation. On one hand, Dean alienated progressives by tightening spending and successfully pushing tax cuts. "Howard would start [each budget cycle] by cutting programs for the needy, things like wheelchairs and artificial limbs," says state auditor Elizabeth Ready, who has been both friend and foe to Dean. Horrified liberals would have to claw each benefit back from the tightfisted Governor. But at election time, Dean marginalized Republicans by appealing to socially liberal groups like environmentalists. "Every year, as the first thing...
...This is London/ Not Antarctica/ So why don't the tubes run all night?/ You are my girlfriend/ Not Molly Ringwald/ So why won't you stay here tonight?"

In 2001 the figure was 19,500, a 60% drop. In the meantime, ridership has risen 26%, according to the National Sporting Goods Association...
Good thing. Turns out kids aren't little adults, after all. New studies show that young children need to take the epilepsy drug Neurontin in higher doses than adults because they excrete it faster. And Prozac, the drug that carried bewildered Gen X-ers through the '90s, can retard growth in kids and adolescents...
