...last week he could claim that he's already won the contest that matters, to the extent that "others are stealing my ideas." Just when President Clinton and Republicans in Congress admit they are unable to cut the budget through negotiations, Forbes arrives and proposes to do it by fiat. Now, says Jack Kemp, who was only one of the many voices last week calling for a brand-new tax system, "the whole debate is how low to have the tax-rate system, how fair it should be."

Otherwise, traumas of weather do not admit of political interpretation. The snow Shinto reintroduces an element of what is almost charmingly uncontrollable in life.
