In exchange for a hastily scrawled amendment tying the later years of a 10-year, $792 billion tax cut to promised reductions in the national debt, the "Hell no" folks said "What the heck" and climbed aboard a GOP ship that, says TIME White House correspondent Jay Branegan, won?t sail very far anyway.

As time wore on, hopes diminished. Certainly no word has come to or from the waiting family; the wedding of Robert Kennedy's daughter Rory, scheduled for Saturday evening in Hyannisport, has been indefinitely postponed...
...those horrible incidents that sends chills down the spine. On May 11, 1996, after a cargo fire tore through the passenger cabin of a ValuJet DC-9, the airplane plunged straight down into the Florida Everglades, killing all 110 people aboard. On Tuesday, Florida prosecutors moved to criminalize the conclusions of air safety investigators: Improperly packaged oxygen canisters ignited the fire that caused the crash. State prosecutors charged the maintenance company, SabreTech, with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, both felonies, because of what they alleged was the unlawful transportation of hazardous waste. A separate federal indictment charged three...
