...that Gingrich has arrived, what does he want? His record as a builder is shaky at best, and his grand vision is mostly implicit. When Gingrich rallied more than 300 G.O.P. candidates in Washington in late September to unveil a position paper called "Contract with America," the supposedly revolutionary document contained mostly warmed-over Reaganomics. The risk of Gingrich in near control is that he will remain in his bomb- throwing role and never be accountable for the messy specifics of lawmaking.

The authors document the disparity between mean Black and mean white IQ scores--a fact easily proved by experimentation.

Jordan and Israel finished a draft peace treaty after an all-nighter to iron out quibbles over borders and water rights, the second surprise announcement of progress toward a formal end to hostilities in less than a week. The Israeli Cabinet approved the document today, hours after Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Jordan's King Hussein signed it in Amman. Both countries' legislatures are expected to ratify the document by week's end, and a final version will likely be signed Oct. 26 on the Israel-Jordan border. President Clinton, who hosted the two leaders for a Washington handshake...
