...Thursday night, so we know they want it -? or at least want to be able to tell everyone they do. We know Bill Clinton is dead-set against it -? "I will have no choice but to veto it immediately" ?- and the Democrats, so far, are sticking by their fearless leader. But how about the voters? Polls show that Americans overwhelmingly favor lower taxes -? who wouldn?t? - until they?re reminded that there?s only so much money to go around. Put a big tax cut against saving Medicare, and that support all but disappears. The same thing happens when respondents...
...many women saw the world and themselves. As we navigated the tricky and challenging waters of the women's movement, this thinking woman's editor prodded, provoked and pushed us. It's hard to imagine where women would be without her. Ruth put substance over style. She was fearless, solid, unwavering. There wasn't a phony bone on her regal Katharine Hepburnesque frame. She never underestimated women's intelligence, regularly publishing articles most women's magazines wouldn't touch, from "The Racism of Well-Meaning White People" to "Inside Tailhook: From the Woman Who Changed the Navy...
...execution in Vallegrande at the age of 39 only enhanced Guevara's mythical stature.

Made with built-in shock absorbers and extra-large tires filled with air bubbles, they cruised over potholes, manholes, dips and bumps. But they felt stiff and clunky, especially going uphill. And although they were the right size, my feet ached no matter how much I fiddled with the buckles...
ROBERT DE NIRO, JASON ALEXANDER and RENE RUSSO are big stars, but they aren't the headliners on their current project. That honor falls to a computer-generated moose and squirrel. The movie, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, features De Niro as Fearless Leader, Alexander as Boris and Russo as Natasha; the critters will be added during editing. De Niro reports he had no difficulty shooting scenes with half the characters absent. "It's not hard unless you have a very emotional scene," he says. Which means we probably won't learn much about Bullwinkle's troubled childhood...
