Strangely enough, while networks are quick to see and cure these problems for headache remedies, no one realizes that the same two side effects may occur with negative campaigning in the political process. if each side keeps decrying the other for being immoral, we may not be able to judge with perspective the acts committed. Former vice president Dan Quayle's incorrect spelling of potato (with an e) seems to be on the same level of immorality as Sen. Bob Packwood's (R-Wash.) sexual harassment.

Although long overdue, the line-item veto is hardly a cure-all. The legislation is riddled with loopholes and will expire in eight years unless Congress extends it. Worse, the obvious pork in the budget amounts to no more than about $10 billion of all federal spending--less than 1% of the total.

...special effects, Institute productions also get frills like smoke, fire and a moving stage made possible by budgetary scraps the A.R.T. can throw their way. "The Cure at Troy" even has a special surprise made feasible by those titillating Harvard connections everyone loves to work. Heaney himself threw in, probably without his normal speaker's fee, his very own marvelous voice, taped, reciting a bit of verse from his very own play...
