And now he’s wickedly, impossibly back, just when you thought it was safe to consign him to the limbo of multi-album package re-releases.

...panelists agreed that gridlock would consign such bold but risky plans as Bush's proposed $1.3 trillion tax cut to the campaign-promise trash heap. "There won't be any huge tax cuts or entitlement programs, whoever becomes President," says Bruce Steinberg, chief economist for Merrill Lynch.
