Hence his national-service program, an echo of the G.I. Bill, aimed at working kids, who would repay their schooling with community service. Hence the crime bill he fought desperately to save, a $30 billion potpourri of prisons and cops, of therapists and social workers turned loose on the ordinary American's No. 1 nightmare: crime. Hence the piece de resistance of Clinton's activist vision: health care "that cannot be taken away." It addresses the quintessential middle-class fear: losing what...
Natural Born Killers -- in shorthand, NBK, to echo Stone's nutsy-greatsy JFK -- traces the odyssey of love-thugs Mickey and Mallory Knox (Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis) as they terrorize the Southwest and mesmerize America's couch spuds. Like Bonnie & Clyde, Badlands and a zillion tortured teen movies of the '50s, NBK creates two doomed maniacs busy mythologizing themselves. "We got the road to hell in front of us," Mickey tells his bride, and he's not lying. These kids get their kicks on Route 666; when they go traveling, the devil thumbs a ride...
What we really need is a Baseball Hall of Names.

Other fee- for-service doctors echo his concern. In Houston, Dr. Robert Maidenberg says that he and 36 other physicians were dropped by Aetna's network because they cared too much about their patients. "Nobody ever said the best was the cheapest," he says. (Aetna's response is that the 37 doctors it dropped were...
...taking the first real steps toward the 1996 race for the presidency, telling advisers to seek commitments from political strategists and fund raisers nationwide, the New York Times has reported. But this time around, Dole -- who was burned six years ago in New Hampshire when he failed to echo George Bush's "no new taxes" challenge -- appears to be taking no chances. "He's haunted by his '88 experience, when he finally made up his mind and then was out-organized by Bush," says TIME Washington correspondent Laurence I. Barrett. The fortunes of rivals like California Governor Pete Wilson...
