...hunger to know what life would be like if the Republican revolution succeeds, here is a tangible example: small children would eat more Raisin Bran and less Cheerios, at least in Michigan. Of course, the libertarian Republicans would not insist. Their "Contract with America" would simply hand the choice to the states, where, they say, it belongs. But to the maker of Cheerios, the provision that passed the House last week is nothing less than a cereal killer...

Until he decided to test...
...officers' hunt begins in earnest at 9:30, after a stop for a bran muffin and coffee. "We always give 'em a little play," says DiAngelo. "But if they're an hour and a half late, they're fair game." Cruising along East 182nd Street, the officers describe the finer points of pursuit. Traditionally, says DiAngelo, truants were predominantly boys, "but girls are cutting more now." Girls, Officer Krajeski says, "are always 'sick' or 'late.' They don't run as much. Solos never run; groups usually...
