...wonder if House Democrats will someday regret that they chose Nancy Pelosi instead of brash, young Harold Ford Jr., to lead them for the remainder of George W. Bush's first term. Unlike Pelosi, a savvy but utterly predictable liberal whom Republicans will delight in caricaturing as a "San Francisco Democrat," Ford would have been, in his own words, "hard to put in a box." Republicans would have had difficulty pigeonholing a black, 32-year-old, three-term Congressman who voted against Bush's tax cuts but in favor of such conservative perennials as the prayer-in-school and anti...
...bars is being raised. The latest in potables--now being served in watering holes and restaurants across the country--is the dessert cocktail, an after-dinner delight that blends drinks and sweets.

It's timely, too; in this digital age, colors are in danger of disengaging from their symbolism. Toward the end of her journeys, Finlay visits the "Color King," Lawrence Herbert, whose New Jersey company, Pantone, has catalogued more than 15,000 shades of basic colors. But, as it turns out, Herbert is replacing his exquisite descriptions?"wood violet" and "sulphur spring" are two?with drab numbers. "Computers don't need...
...We’re not trying to be a punk rock band. It’s just when we all put ourselves together it’s what comes out,” said Baker. To the delight of onlookers, it comes out in gleeful abundance. From their first song to their final perfectly executed unison jump, Riddlin’ Kids aim to please and generate raucous fun for all. These Texans certainly live up to their psycho-stimulant drug influenced name...
