Although Bush was flanked by Vice President Dick Cheney and G.O.P. congressional leaders, the far bigger presence on the South Lawn Friday was the memory of his father, whose perceived lack of concern for average people during the last recession cost him a second term. Faced with the 1990-91 downturn, "41," as his son calls him, wasn't much for feeling people's pain or offering them relief. Washington should stand back and "let the economy right itself," the former President used to say, and it eventually did--just in time for him to lose. The elder Bush...
...studies indicate, that the robocams deter people from speeding and running red lights. A Lou Harris poll set for release this week finds that 69% of Americans support their use. Yet at least seven states have blocked proposals to implement them, and opponents--ranging from House majority leader Dick Armey to the American Civil Liberties Union--argue that the cameras violate privacy and place profit above public safety...
...Other Half (weekdays from Sept. 10) appeals even more directly to women; its hosts (Dick Clark, former Partridge Danny Bonaduce, actor Mario Lopez of Saved by the Bell and doctor-model Jan Adams) promise "the world of women as seen through the eyes of men." "It's sneaking a look into the other side's playbook," says Bonaduce. "We're going to narc out men all over the country."

They gave an awards ceremony last week, and an infomercial broke out--not to mention a Mutual of Omaha wildlife special, a dragfest (comedian ANDY DICK, left, as singer Christina Aguilera's "cousin Daphne") and a monster truck rally. (P. Diddy arrived on an 18-wheeler.) And those were some of the more dignified moments at the MTV Video Music Awards, a spectacle that started low and slithered downhill from there, landing in a lagoon of cheese, with BRITNEY SPEARS' joyless gyrations to her new single Slave 4 U. (She didn't like her boa, it seems.) The most curious...
...evening before, Vice President Dick Cheney had handed Hastert a joint resolution authorizing the use of force. The leaders discussed whether Congress should go even further and approve a declaration of war. "Wait a minute," one of the leaders in the Hastert meeting said. "You realize the insurance companies won't pay." Silence in the room. It was true: Most insurance policies are written in a way that exempts the companies from paying for damages in a declared war. Congress, suddenly, was faced with a stark realization. A declaration of war could end up allowing the insurance companies to wiggle...
