...styled truth tellers like Bill Bradley don't: "It's stupid. Fidel's outlasted eight Presidents. Is it an ego thing? Do we have to wait for him to die?" He's the rare non-Democratic Governor who gives Clinton generous credit for the economy. Try getting George W. Bush to do that...
...will the ads be effective? "The buzz on banner ads is really bad; they just don't generate numbers," says TIME Digital reporter Lev Grossman, noting, however, that interactive banners, similar to those Bush is using, have enjoyed the best responses and "hover times" (the amount of time a user spends on the ad before back-clicking to the original page). "It'll be interesting," Grossman adds, "to see if they're more interested when the message is from a politician, not some get-rich-quick scheme."

Despite a mammoth war chest and an (albeit fading) air of invincibility, George W. Bush still understands the famous Tip O'Neill edict: "All politics is local." In Dubya's case, as local as your PC.

"America's just starting to realize that it trails the rest of the world in preschool; meanwhile, big health care plans are a tough sell, even among Democrats...
...legal circles, few issues are thought to be much thornier than the separation of church and state. But Tuesday, a U.S. district judge in Cincinnati dove right into the thorn bush, declaring Cleveland's four-year-old voucher system illegal. Although the program will continue until a higher court makes its ruling, Judge Solomon Oliver Jr. ruled that the voucher program - which allows families to send their children to private schools using public funds - is unconstitutional. Because most of the subsidized students attend religious schools, Oliver said, the vouchers provide taxpayer money for religious instruction. Ohio's attorney general vows...
