...Security receipts of well-to-do pensioners. And for a guy who pledged to simplify the tax code, Dole offered a plan with enough special breaks and incentives to keep accountants busy for years. So his notion of abolishing the Internal Revenue Service "as we know it" (a deliberate echo of Clinton's 1992 pledge on welfare) might take a while...
...games will go on." those emphatic words were spoken by Francois Carrard, director general of the International Olympic Committee, after a homemade pipe bomb exploded in Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park at 1:21 Saturday morning.

Blute, often seen as the lone Gingrich disciple in the Bay State, has helped push many of the new Republican reforms through the House. Yet while both echo conservative principles, each is grounded by the state's inherently liberal nature. Both distance themselves from Republican party's extreme right wing...
