...when it was time to aim for the White House, it was crucial that he get the tax music exactly right; the whole strategy depended on it, and not just for winning the primaries. If conservatives came to think Bush was an ardent tax cutter, they would be willing to let him roam much closer to the center on just about everything else to win the heart of independents. "He moved the party on immigration and education," says Grover Norquist, godfather of all tax cutters, "but no Republican could have abandoned tax cuts and won the primary, or the general...

The fiddle from previous Corr albums is back, albeit surrounded by the same MIDI-file accompaniment that infests the rest of this...
...funds in the account, however, are handled by the plan, not you. Some parents may eschew this cookie-cutter approach to investing. "The downside is, once the money is in the option you choose, it stays there," says Joseph Hurley, a C.P.A. in Pittsford, N.Y., and author of The Best Way to Save for College. Many plans use an age-allocation formula, investing more conservatively as a child gets older. But now that financial-services companies are helping manage these plans, the offerings can be much broader, Hurley says...
