...days when they used the panel to make Bill Clinton's life miserable, the leader of Government Reform is the only chairman who can issue subpoenas without a committee vote. Then Chairman Dan Burton--who famously re-enacted the suicide of Clinton deputy White House counsel Vince Foster by shooting at what he called a "head-like thing" (later widely reported to be a melon) in his backyard--issued 1,089 such unilateral subpoenas in six years. Since a Republican entered the White House, the G.O.P. Congress has been far less enthusiastic in its oversight. Waxman likes to point...
...which each calendar year would be sold for corporate sponsorship, e.g., the Year of the Trial-Size Dove Bar, the Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment.

...would be a $50 million risk, but one that paid off beautifully. The new ICA is a fascinating combination of public and private spaces, as well as a building that comments ingeniously on its own chief purpose, which is to foster the art of looking.

Even in the brief span of her lifetime, Daniels has watched pediatric-AIDS treatments improve significantly. When she was an infant, her adoptive mother Maryann had to wake her up at 4 a.m. to administer the first of four daily doses. Today the blond, blue-eyed girl...
...years, Harvard has led the fight against Yale. By biannually hosting one of the largest conferences that matches “Yalies” with the brightest minds in the world, Harvard has shown its commitment to developing, once and for all, a cure for Yale. To foster a feeling that the world accepts Yalies despite their condition, Harvard always houses sufferers with successful Harvard undergraduates. There’s a game of American football to show that, although Yale has absolutely crippled any athletic promise they once had, Yalies can still enjoy having a bit of exercise. There...
