While American energy companies joined the Caspian rush early, the U.S. government was slow to get organized. Some of Washington's top power brokers and law firms went to work for Caspian governments or U.S. companies, selling, consulting, lobbying or opening doors. Among them were former Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, former Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen, and John Sununu, who was George Bush's chief of staff. Perhaps the most active Washington name is former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, now a consultant for Amoco. He has long been a mentor to Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, and he has warned...
While at Yale, he met Jane Cheney, a Bryn Mawr student to whom he proposed on their first date. Although Spock's mother had a low opinion of Bryn Mawr, Spock and Cheney were married in 1927. By that time, Spock was enrolled at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University in New York City, where he graduated first in his class in 1929 and set up a pediatric practice. His experiences during the 1930s were crucial to the development of his child-rearing theories. He realized that most of the problems brought to him were behavioral rather...
...Tuesday evening it was clear that the hearings' emotional center was not the past but Hall's fears for the future. His primary frustration involved a long-held industry custom.

...time Hall was done, both his targets were claiming to be on his side. The FAA's Cheney announced that his agency had decided to study the safety board's recommendations. Insisting that "we are seriously embracing attacking this problem on the flammable-vapor level," he pledged to "take action" on fuel-tank maintenance programs for all U.S. aircraft. Boeing declared that it had been studying fuel-tank improvements since the crash and is considering more thorough insulation and "sweeping" out accumulated fumes during flight...
Similar small-scale revolts have erupted from San Diego to Sonoma Valley, and the state board of education is expected soon to release a new, more traditional math framework for California schools. Meanwhile, McKeown and whole-math detractors like Lynne Cheney, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, darkly warn that President Clinton's voluntary national test for eighth-graders, set for 1999, is being used to promote a whole-math agenda. Says Cheney: "Every single member appointed to the math [exam's] panel is a whole-math advocate." Department of Education officials bristle at the charge, saying...
