The middle layer, or dermis, thins dramatically, making the skin seem translucent, and becomes much less elastic and supportive. These changes, along with loss of fat from the underlying subcutaneous layer, cause the skin to sag and wrinkle. Drinking, smoking and suntanning speed up these processes.

Virtually no political experts interviewed by the press would dare make predictions based solely on this week's results...

With the authority he already has, a shrewd president can expose legislative big spenders and cut out the fat on spending bills--without completely realigning the relationship between the executive and legislative branches...
