...Forget "Honest" Abe Lincoln ?- or the get-tough policies of Ronald Reagan ?- the art of winning American elections today is all about pleasing all of the people all of the time (or at least pretending that you can). Call it the "radical center," the "New Middle" or the "Third Way," this is the mushy political space in which New Democrat meets Compassionate Conservative. Of course, if you?re of more cynical mien, you may be tempted to call it plain old sophistry. But there?s no denying that electronic-age politicians such as Bill Clinton and George W. Bush have...
Here's a bit more unsolicited advice: forget everything anyone has told you about Harvard. Instead of coming here already knowing everything, try to discover things by yourself. Chalk your mistakes up to life experience and collect some good stories. Your experiences will come in handy when you give in to the urge to tell the Class of 2004 exactly what they're getting into...
Users looking for more practical applications might wait for later versions of Cye. It cannot manage stairs, so forget about its answering the door if you live in a split-level home.

Her first CD, Voice of an Angel (Sony Classical), went double platinum in Britain and rose to No. 4 on the U.K. pop charts.

Her summer schedule includes pledge-drive appearances on public-TV stations across the country and a June 14 benefit performance at Ford's Theatre in Washington that President Clinton was expected...
...store. Then there's the ham-sandwiches-in-the-cooler option. Whatever you choose, make sure there's plenty of it: in the words of one road hog, "If we ate as much at home as we eat on vacation, we'd all weigh 500 lbs." And don't forget the snacks, in the car or on the plane: string cheese, dried fruit, cookies and crackers, fruit snacks, carrot and celery sticks, granola bars, trail mix and lots of juice and bottled water. If you're sick of hearing "Hey, she got more than me!," give each child...
