...matters as school uniforms, curfews and V-chips was a tactic of genius. He could be appealing as the nation's ward healer, while lamenting the existence of deep, vast ills that no one believed a national leader could fix anyway. He carefully looked to determine which side his bread was buttered on, and saw that it was the crust...
...country instead of dragging it down." Of course, those words were written before he actually saw the film. In the version of ID4 that I saw, the country wasn't just dragged down, much of it was demolished by a fire-breathing spacecraft resembling a large piece of pita bread. Millions of our compatriots were blown away in a quite grisly fashion. The First Lady, not a bit like Liddy, was zapped by aliens.

The N.A.M. urges a national target of 3% growth year after year, vs. the 2.5% projected by the Clinton Administration...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: A string of poor crops caused by below average rainfall in the midwest are finally catching up with consumers at the supermarket. With food prices in June reaching their highest levels in six years, everything from Wonder bread to Ben & Jerry's has gotten more expensive. Some economists predict that food price inflation, which has averaged a moderate 2.4 percent increase for the last few years, will surge as high as 7 percent by the end of the year.
