...forms easier to file. As Congress weighs the impact of the controversial tax cuts proposed by President Bush, TIME's JYOTI THOTTAM asked a group of tax-policy experts to move beyond the current debate and imagine a simpler, more efficient federal tax system. Our Board of Economists--David Bradford of the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University and New York University School of Law, Philip Jefferson of Swarthmore College, Dan Mitchell of the Heritage Foundation, Trudi Renwick of the Fiscal Policy Institute and Max Sawicky of the Economic Policy Institute--produced a host of creative ideas and some surprising...
During a stint at Yale, Cheney was moved by a course he took from H. Bradford Westerfield, then a self-described ardent hawk who believed the U.S. should use its role as the leader of the free world to fight communism wherever it took hold.

Bryson's first book, a 1989 exploration of small-town U.S.A. called The Lost Continent, included the following comment about a gaggle of pushy pensioners...
...bothers me that they're not bothered." He may have soft-pedaled the satire in Kenya, but Bryson is looking for fresh subjects to skewer. Japan, he says, may be next. Do you get many angry reactions from people whose home towns you criticize? Surprisingly few. People from Bradford got very upset - there were lots of letters to the local papers. The sad thing is that they acknowledged the truth of what I said, even though it was only a joke. They just thought it was rude of me to point...
