...believes the income tax should be abolished. He opposed George Bush on the gulf war, saying the conflict was not in the nation's interest. He was once described as Ronald Reagan's right arm. Now Patrick Buchanan, 53, may be running for President, challenging Bush for the Republican nomination. "It's a go," said his sister, Angela ("Bay") Buchanan, former U.S. Treasurer. "He's so excited...
...Maxwell's sons, Kevin, 32, and Ian, 35, were quickly named their father's successors. Kevin will take over the American arm of the Maxwell domain, Maxwell Communication Corp., and his brother will run the Mirror Group Newspapers in Britain. The young Maxwells face the same challenge that confronts most media barons these days: massive debt. No one outside the company, and not many inside it, knows precisely what Maxwell's debts are. That is because a number of his interests were privately held. The details of their loan arrangements thus remain safe from the scrutiny of public shareholders...

The President reassured a wary Israeli delegation by speaking of "territorial compromise" instead of "land for peace," a formula that Israelis loathe. He also backed the Israeli view that the conference should lead not just to nonbelligerency but to "real peace." Explained Bush: "I mean treaties. Security. Diplomatic relations. Economic relations. Trade. Investment. Cultural exchange. Even tourism...
...beer actually worked, but I gave it up because I got tired of explaining that I really was heading off to write as I departed each evening with a six- pack tucked under my arm. On the other hand, the clamminess and poor concentration disappeared immediately when I gave up caffeine, and I discovered that fear of bill collectors is an adequate late-night stimulant. This first dip into the waters of alternative health left me open to the suggestion, a few years later, that I try chiropractic to treat my persistent lower-back pain. "Go see Christoph," said...
