...presidential aspirations, CBS's Diane Sawyer reminded George Bush that Michael Kramer, one of the nation's savviest political journalists, had once suggested the Vice President was a wimp. Replied Bush, who rarely singles out reporters for attack: "You know Michael Kramer? He'll never play linebacker for the Chicago Bears. You ever seen him?" Kramer, 43, may never rush down Soldier Field, but last week he joined TIME's team as special correspondent. His first piece for the magazine, an analysis of the new Administration's coming conflicts with Congress, appears in this week's Nation section...
Kramer's inquisitiveness will serve TIME's readers well, and not only on politics. He will range around the magazine, writing about national and international affairs, and contributing to sections like Profile, Interview and Essay. Kramer says he might even be persuaded to write about the Chicago Bears. Or George Bush, with whom he is getting along much better these days. About the only thing that does not interest Kramer is the Law section. Says he: "Law school cured me." The loss to jurisprudence, not to mention to the Bears, is our gain...

...energy bursts by using its magnets to guide protons, moving at nearly 186,000 miles per second, around the enormous ring in opposite directions. Then they would be forced to collide. The major difference between the SSC and the largest accelerator that currently exists -- the Tevatron, at Fermilab near Chicago -- is size and, therefore, power. The SSC would produce some 20 times as much energy as the Tevatron can and would generate correspondingly more interesting particles. Among the discoveries are certain to be some surprises. Says Harvard physicist Roy Schwitters, who is a leading candidate...
...rural and industrial heartland could prove resistant to an insurance revolt. Cushioned by strong no-fault plans in some states and, frequently, less crowded highways, Midwesterners have among the lowest auto premiums in the country. Even motorists in such cities as Cleveland and Chicago have lower rates than their counterparts elsewhere. Chicago has extensive mass transit, for one thing, and the city's drivers tend to file fewer lawsuits than drivers in Boston or Los Angeles...
