...bottom in national rankings. But tax hating is one of the South's cherished pastimes. Carville's epiphany was that if Democrats could portray the lottery as a tax-free way to improve education, government spending could once again become a winning issue. And the Republicans, hostage to the Christian right's antigambling fervor, would be painted into a corner...
...photographer Steven Meisel present CAMERON DIAZ as this year's official model turned actress, dubbing her "a Tweety Bird with sex appeal." Though her gilded cage no longer includes Matt Dillon, the actress can be seen with another thuggish gent later this month when she co-stars with Christian Slater in the black comedy Very Bad Things...
...Christian fundamentalists claim that changing from homosexual to heterosexual is possible through adherence to Christian principles. That idea is insidious at best and a downright lie at worst.

But they see their goals achieved through terror, such as the receipt, at four clinics last Friday, of letters supposedly containing anthrax, which sent 33 people to the hospital. What good is the right to an abortion if there's no way to get one? There are fewer clinics today (one in all of Buffalo, for example), and they are more widely dispersed. Far fewer doctors do the procedure, and even fewer are being...
