...crudest and purest form . . . power and domination for its own sake," to be expanded without limit. If Saddam is allowed to keep part of Kuwait -- and make no mistake, that is what those advocating a "diplomatic solution" are hinting at -- he will be back to take a bite out of another victim. Not right away, maybe, but after the U.S. troops have left Saudi Arabia and all has returned to a delusive quiet.

...struck out in previous tries at statewide office. Yet the four-term former mayor of Burlington last week was elected the first independent Congressman in decades. Why? While Sanders rails raucously against huge corporations and tax breaks for the wealthy, Vermonters finally realized that his revolutionary bark has little bite. He ran Burlington efficiently, pushing nothing much more radical than a decree that 10% of all city-funded trade jobs go to women.

So for the same joint filers, the marginal tax rate jumps from 28% to 33% on taxable income between $78,400 and $162,770. Then comes the odd part: it drops back down to 28% on income above that level...
Actor George Hamilton scored his biggest film hit in the 1979 vampire spoof Love at First Bite. Now court records in Los Angeles show that Hamilton may have helped former Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos and his wife Imelda bleed their country's treasury. The papers, filed in a Philippine government effort to recover more than $5 billion that the Marcoses are accused of looting from government coffers, indicate that the couple may have funneled some $12 million through the actor's bank accounts...
