...soon kick in. It requires that those who have received benefits for five years be cut off from welfare for the rest of their lives. The act allows states to exempt as many as 20% of cases from the five-year limit--but that may not be enough to cover a state's entire hardest-to-place population...

...interesting to note how many readers expected negative comments about the Cruise-Kidman cover because the couple appeared to be nude. But not even graphic copulation could save this clunker. Stanley Kubrick spent 53 months on this project, which he had wanted to produce for 28 years. I hope his demise was not triggered by seeing the end result. ARLINE MCFARLANE West Vancouver...
