...March 30, the House of Representatives approved the ROTC and Military Recruiter Equal Access to Campus Act of 2004 by a 4-1 margin. If passed into law by the Senate, as some politicos have predicted it will be before the November election, the bill stands poised to require schools to let ROTC through their doors. As the bill’s primary sponsor, Rep. Christopher Cox, R-CA, a former Faculty member of the Harvard Business School, has noted, it “might just as well be called the Harvard Act” since most other schools have...

The duo, who met on the set of 2001's Vanilla Sky while Cruise was married to Nicole Kidman, still "talk all the time," his rep says. But their relationship was strained by the constant travel their filming schedules required, says her spokesman. Cruise recently dropped...
...when Congress first equalized the federal income tax to remove the “single’s tax,” the personal exemption (then $600) was equal to 41 percent of average per capita income. Incomes and taxes have rapidly inflated since then, but the exemption has not kept pace and is now only about 10 percent of average per capita income. While the Earned Income Tax Credit has made up some of the slack, a much greater tax burden is borne by home educating families than should be. The personal exemption should be returned to its original...
