Bill Clinton might have to admit it?s a fair enough question: Why the sudden presidential pardon this summer for 16 Puerto Rican terrorists who had been in jail for years? Though good guys Desmond Tutu and Jimmy Carter backed the clemency, was it just a human-rights issue? Or was it political husbandry (and a bad job of it, too) for Hillary?s New York Senate run? Republicans want to know. Clinton ain?t telling. The White House braved the ghosts of Nixon one more time Thursday and invoked executive privilege, waving away congressional subpoenas for documents and witnesses...

After all, even a phantom month has to be paid for eventually; putting off the hurt only magnifies the problem for next time. But without...
...special-order a hazel-eyed, redheaded extrovert with perfect pitch. Leave aside for the moment whether scientists actually found an "IQ gene" last week or the argument over what really constitutes intelligence. Every new discovery gives shape and bracing focus to a debate we have barely begun. Even skeptics admit it's only a matter of time before these issues become real. If you could make your kids smarter, would you? If everyone else did, would it be fair...
