...list. Last spring Carolyn Staley wrote to chide the President about his promise that improving education would be his legacy. Was he aware, she wondered, that he had produced a budget that would cut spending for adult literacy to a level below what it was in the Bush Administration? The next thing she knew, Staley got a call from the budget analyst on whose desk her note had landed. "And who, exactly, are you?" he inquired rather nervously. The deputy director of the National Institute for Literacy, it turns out, and a preacher's kid who grew up next door...
...idea of a special ZIP code was George Bush's, but Clinton adopted it shortly after he was elected and soon added a fax number as well. Clinton has given it out to strangers when he wants to hear their stories in full.

The school's move toward bipartisanship is necessary both for the Kennedy School to maintain its reputation as a national think tank and for the New Members of Congress Conference to foster interaction between Representatives of both parties. The renewed possibility for deliberation and dialogue that transcends party lines is the key to the Kennedy School...
...Dole said the word frequently, though he was not the first prominent official to use it. A few years ago, George Bush praised the Czech Republic's Vaclav Havel for "living or dying, whatever, for freedom." Nothing that memorable was said last year. The candidates talked about a "bridge" to here and there. The President's most quoted remark concerned his observation of an archaeological find, that it was "a good-looking mummy.
