...heralded it as "a turning point that [will] transform the shape of America." But right now, the program is under assault from Congress as an out-of-control entitlement engineered by an out-of-control bureaucracy. Which does not do much for Gore's reputation as the architect of reinventing government. Even more ominous is another threat: starting this summer, phone companies that were ordered to pay for the program are threatening to add a new charge to the long-distance bills of residential consumers. Critics are already calling it the Gore...
First degree, third degree. Ceremonial apron and secret handshake; the Square and the Compass; the letter G for the Grand Architect himself. There was a time when America was dying to know and no one was telling. Freemasonry, which claims to be the world's oldest fraternal society, has been called the civil religion of the American Revolution. As recently as 1959, its U.S. branch constituted an earnest and convivial army of 4.1 million. Yet today those ranks are decimated.

"I had been saving these points for years for something special," Elkjer says. "This was really an event of a lifetime...
...visitors call to reserve parking spaces at the museum, they should also be permitted to make reservations for one of the few rest rooms--but there are other problems as well. On sunny days the brightness of the light on the mountaintop location is exacerbated by the reflection from architect RICHARD MEIER's tan aluminum panels on the outside of the building. Employees now wear dark sunglasses as part of their work uniform. After the December opening--coincidentally, after Meier left--umbrellas were set up to provide some relief on the virtually shadeless plaza. But the glare...
