...their country's relationship with the U.S. as intrinsically a rivalry, may fall into the trap of defining what is in their national interest as anything that annoys the U.S. or causes us problems. If the reflex to score points in a zero-sum game becomes a default feature in the software of Russian foreign policy, it will only generate mistrust on our side. That kind of vicious cycle, so familiar during the cold war, would be bad for everyone, but particularly for the Russians. They would risk repeating many of the mistakes that made nine-tenths of the 20th...
...typical Dole fashion, key decisions were made by default. When Will brought in press secretary Nelson Warfield, who had worked in Ron Lauder's unsuccessful 1989 New York City mayoral campaign, Dole met with him for all of seven minutes--and then pronounced him O.K.

Ironically, the law that was designed to promote equality in the workplace is now being used to teach inequality in the schools...
...heavily Republican district, Bates knows she's a long shot. But her frustration with Congress--two government shutdowns and a threat to default on the national debt--propelled her into the race. Though she feels the TIME/CQ Issues are too complex for a yes-or-no response, she has plenty of opinions about them. Bates wants a balanced budget, and believes it can be achieved with common sense and compassion...
