...first, having the kids watch TV for hours in the car felt a little bit like cheating--but only a little, and not for long. Much as we'd like to believe our children would be content for hours reading the abridged Jane Eyre, nothing keeps them in good spirits the way some not-so-classic kid vid does. And our results speak for themselves. For successive summers, we've trekked nearly the entire Eastern seaboard with three small children and exactly zero major fighting or crying episodes (not counting Dad's getting stuck in D.C. traffic...
...summer of 1997 when Karen Hughes, Bush's communications whiz, walked into the Governor's office with a poll showing him suddenly ahead of all the other Republican contenders.

"I am among my friends now," Yeltsin announced, and in return, everybody said he looked great. "He walked a bit stiffly, but he was very forceful," offered national security adviser Sandy Berger. "His behavior was neither erratic or shaky," added Clinton later. Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien declared the ailing bear "strong. But he can?t run a marathon." Too bad. Because for everyone in that room, that?s exactly...
...preventative tweak ?- and this chairman?s impeccable record says it?s worth a ton of cure ?- had the inflation-fearing bond markets jumping for joy and yields dropping like a stone.
