...that "the lives of violent criminals are going to be hell"? Will he "make the drug war priority No. 1 once again" by carving 40% of the Drug Enforcement Administration? Surely not, but if those agencies are to be spared, then what others will take the blow? The following chart illustrates where Dole's fiscal plans and campaign promises could leave the Federal Government...
...cautious optimism that has begun to surface at major cancer-treatment centers is not grounded in any hard calculus. Despite some gains, cancer death rates remain unacceptably high (see chart), and the disease will kill 554,740 people in the U.S. this year. Rather, the optimism stems from an extraordinarily rich epoch of scientific discovery that has revealed the innermost secrets of malignant cells and suggested rational strategies for attacking them.

His chart-topping new CD, It Was Written, his second, is full of violent episodes and sometimes needlessly rough language, but, Nas insists, "I'm not a gangsta rapper." And he isn't. Nas, who hails from New York City's Queensbridge housing projects, is clearly saddened and outraged by the violence he sees around him, and he's out to create songs that are more than cathartic cartoons...
