...they see her, and all the windows steam up. She is the star of her own show, and she loves it. The jukebox gets her dancing, sexy, like on a runway. Pleasin' and teasin'. Hey, college boy, dance with me, closer than sweat. Give me a long, deep kiss...
Should we settle for that? No. As everyone now seems to recognize, we're dangerously deep in hock. The $2.5 trillion national debt amounts to 50% of our $5 trillion gross national product. There have been times in our history when that percentage was much higher and we did just fine growing our way out of the problem -- World War II sent the ratio of debt up to 127% of GNP -- so don't believe the people who tell you we're doomed.

All were defeated, and a consumer initiative calling for deep cuts in auto, home and $ commercial insurance rates seemed close enough to ensure a recount. But Proposition 19, which proposed a 25 cents tax on cigarettes to fund medical research and education, passed, despite the tobacco industry's $16 million campaign to defeat...
