...Peter Fitzgerald of Illinois and Gordon Smith of Oregon--who have the power to defeat the bill. (Only three Democratic Senators, Louisiana's John Breaux and Daniel Inouye and Daniel Akaka, both of Hawaii, have come out so far in favor of drilling in the refuge.) Murkowski promises to attract antidrilling Senators to his cause. What remains unclear is how hard Bush intends to fight for oil exploration in the Arctic refuge. If ANWR is in the Bush energy bill, New Hampshire's Smith tells TIME, "it will be the lightning rod, and very good parts of the energy bill...
Outside lies Downtown Disney, an admission-free, quarter-mile-long shopping and dining esplanade for the adults. The mall, which has already proved popular in Florida's Disney World, was designed to attract not only theme-park guests but also local residents and conventiongoers from the newly renovated Anaheim Convention Center nearby. It will offer such grownup attractions as live entertainment at the House of Blues and the world's most elaborate sports bar at ESPN Zone. You will be able to get an adult beverage, both there and in one of the gourmet restaurants in the new park. (What...
...intended effect of the change is to attract more minority students.

(Attention, newborn: Be me, or fall short--it's up to you.) For the congenitally modest elder Bush, naming a child in honor of himself may have proved...
...competition to attract the nation's best students, Ivy League universities are usually quick to match one another's recruiting inducements. But when Princeton recently announced it would replace loans with outright grants in the financial-aid packages it offers to undergraduates, its competitors fell silent. Why? Princeton's new aid plan will cost the university at least an extra $5 million a year. Princeton can afford that cost, thanks to investment returns on its $8 billion endowment. And its move is sure to spur more criticism of other Ivys that have even larger endowments (Harvard: $19 billion; Yale...
