...thought proletarian chic stopped with the lumberjack shirts and beat-up sneakers of early 1990s grunge, think again. Trucker hats are the latest item to come out of the blue-collar closet, and though true style mavens latched on to them some months ago, the hats have only just made it onto the mainstream radar. If you're not familiar with the look, think baseball caps but with a higher foam front and a plastic mesh back. Designer logos are a no-no: you'll want a trucker hat that advertises beer, motor oil or construction equipment for that extra...

The themes of all these moves are speed, stealth and efficiency--doing more with fewer people and fewer weapons--much as they were in the two wars he just fought. "Transformation is not about things, and it's not about technology," says General Richard Myers, Chairman of the Joint...
Unlike the original radical libs, who clashed with the blue-collar Dems, Dean has cleverly embraced Gephardt's lunch-pail populism. To do so, he had to delete Howard Dean 2.0, who was a militant New Democrat. He abandoned his support for free trade. He now opposes the New Democrat impulse to reform traditional liberal programs like old-age entitlements, public education (Dean is even skeptical about charter schools, a New Dem staple) and affirmative action.
