...principally Senator John McCain and Representative Christopher Shays. These advocates of reform have long tried to shut the loophole through which as much as half a billion dollars in soft money could flow this year, most of it from Big Business and other special interests eager not to be forgotten when key legislation comes up for a vote. This fall they'll try again, and their chances for success are improving...
...extremely disturbing that we should be entertaining the idea of forgetting about Cambodian genocide [WORLD, Aug. 16]. Have we so soon forgotten the lesson taught us by Hitler's Holocaust?

And some of them ?- self-styled neo-minutemen with a serious...
...practical, think again. The environmental and cultural damage caused by sprawl has become an issue in the presidential campaign. And the idea behind Southern Village--traditional neighborhood development, or TND--could reshape the outskirts of cities from North Carolina to Oregon. "I've had to relearn everything we've forgotten since World War II," says D.R. Bryan, developer of Southern Village. "But I do want to start building communities for people instead of for cars...
