Buchanan, 53, has not trimmed his verbal sails since beginning his effort to oust the traitorous George Bush, whose cave-in on taxes was "the Yalta of the Republican Party." He uses Bushspeak a la Saturday Night Live's Dana Carvey to lambaste the President for breaking his tax pledge and begs Bush to debate him "at the country club of his choice." His regular stump speech extolling isolationism, protectionism and fiscal stinginess is seasoned with attacks on "boodling" Congressmen, upholstered think tanks cooking up cockeyed new programs, and softheaded Trilateralists who would bail out Chinese communist Deng Xiaoping...

...federal Mine Safety and Health Administration insists that the mines are safer now than ever before. In fact, catastrophic cave-ins are largely a thing of the past. The number of miners killed each year is between 60 and 70, about half the annual toll of a decade ago. But MSHA statistics also suggest that serious injuries -- those that result in some loss of work -- may be on the rise. After dipping to an annual average of 9,500 injuries during the mid- 1980s, they increased to an average of more than 12,000 a year over the past four...
