...know what is best for society but devote little thought to who will eventually pay the bills. I question the priorities of those liberals who lavish so much attention on individual license and entitlements that little concern is left for the good of the community at large. I distrust rigid ideology from any direction, and I am discovering that many Americans feel just as I do. The time may be at hand for a third major party to emerge to represent this sensible center of the American political spectrum...
...Republicans cannot imagine anything better than Perot going away. Bill Clinton cannot imagine anything worse. Perot--and, more precisely, the millions of disaffected voters who support him and distrust the established parties--holds the key to the next election. Whichever way he--and they--goes will determine who wins the White House in 1996.

Morale is very poor. This situation goes far beyond the normal criticisms and complaints which are leveled against management in any organization...
...persistent barrage of outside attack also helped create a culture in which senior managers and agents face each other across a vast reservoir of distrust and hostility, according to hundreds of pages of internal reports and court documents reviewed by Time. Rank-and-file agents have long protested how managers use ATF's internal-affairs unit, which routinely conducts three to five times as many internal probes as the Secret Service's apparatus, even though each agency has roughly 4,000 employees. Magaw explains the differential as partly because of the fact that ATF agents conduct far more gritty street...
