...their conscience, or in a tight election fight and want to disarm their G.O.P. opponent. "By voting for this, I'll have more credibility to criticize Republicans if they continue to behave in a partisan fashion," said Ellen Tauscher, a savvy freshman from suburban San Francisco. "It doesn't appear to me now that these offenses rise to impeachable offenses," she added, but it is all her opponent will talk about. "I want to talk about why he opposes the assault-weapons ban and why he supports the flat tax. Partisan Republicans want this election to be about the President...
...Briefing Room presidency, ruling by Executive order. He'll focus on four big issues only: Social Security, war and peace, and to a lesser extent education and the patient bill of rights. He'll do very little campaigning during the next three weeks, certainly nothing like 1994. He may appear in a few Senate races, he'll still raise money, but barnstorming with Congressmen is out.

He first details inviting "entry points" for these topics--students strong in interpersonal intelligence, for example, could play the roles of different species. An entry point is only that, however, and Gardner proceeds to pose the "crucial educational question": Can we use knowledge about individual strengths to convey the "core notions...
...happily married to a fellow painter, the Hungarian-born Laszlo Lukacs, Hughes has moved from her property in Wooroloo--the bush fires grew too harrowing--and lives full-time in London. She is pleased to have conquered her own reluctance to appear in print as a poet, despite all the comparisons that await her work. And she wants to concentrate on the future, not her parents' storied past. "I can't ever know the truth," she says of her mother's suicide. "Why would I wish to dwell on it, when there is so much else in life...
