Happily for Bush, the only folks in an equally squirmy position were the reporters raising the questions. There was still not a shred of evidence of drug use. A lot of reporters wouldn't much like to answer these questions themselves. Voters have made it clear they don't care. In June, 60% of voters said they thought candidates should answer questions about cocaine use, but after last week's ruckus, less than half thought so. And when Bush argues that his answers are part of a principled fight to clean up the process, he is appealing to a palpable...
...Brady Bunch. The threat, fortunately, turns out to be an exaggeration. But Mormon Elder Alexander Morrison, fearing that Straight Edge could lure teenagers because it shares some philosophies with the church, uses three words to sum up a warning he sent to church leaders: "Steer them clear...
...gang-force detectives Robin Howell and Troy Siebert pull up to a perfect tract house in suburban Kearns on an assault investigation, imagine the horror of John Lim, a mail carrier who has tried to steer his three sons clear of Straight Edge.

That?s not something international diplomats will take lying down, since the U.S. strenuously avoided even discussing the matter at the U.N. when it went to war in Kosovo, and since the international body?s resources crisis isn?t exactly helped...

"He wants to preserve some liquidity for Y2K, and he wants to stay in the background when the political season heats up and everyone?s fighting about tax cuts." That?s just fine with the markets ?- they hate politics anyway. The only thing that might have spoiled their party is if Greenspan hadn?t raised rates -- good news like that, if it?s unexpected, can only cause a ruckus. "That...
