...accepting the main provisions of the BCRA, the Court established a strong, lasting precedent in favor of the practical consideration of reducing the appearance of corruption. With politicians now forced to rely on small, maximum $2,000 donations called hard money, the $200 check written by an autoworker or a dry-cleaner carries more meaning than ever. With BCRA regulations in effect, the most successful fundraisers will win the distinction with the sheer number of donations they solicit, not with the buying power of a few wealthy executives.

...ways of doing the same old thing. In Married Lust: 10 Secrets of Long-Lasting Desire (Hearst Books; 224 pages), Pamela Lister and the editors of Redbook prescribe new sex positions, from tender to kinky, as "a perfect antidote to the encroaching dullness of routine." (Their survey shows women favor the missionary position, while men tend to want the woman...
