...campaigns. The question is what kind of money. I propose raising the limit from $1,000 to $5,000 a person each election. A more stringent cap was necessary in 1974, when the limit was set, given the slow reporting process of the day. New technology allows for freer, faster information exchange and would justify easing up on the caps, provided that disclosure was immediate. The $1,000 cap has not been adjusted for inflation and is seriously outdated. A higher cap would also increase the role of individuals in a game rigged for groups...
...dance show, Flatley hopped, stepped and high-kicked to exultant houses in London and Dublin. When he parted ways with the company in October 1995 over a bitter, and still unresolved, creative dispute, he fashioned Lord of the Dance, a glitzier rival extravaganza showcasing his talents and the updated, freer-form manner of Irish dance he helped pioneer...

A physician has a job to perform, and that is to save lives; just like a lawyer who has to defend his client even if he knows that his client is guilty, a surgeon cannot pass a value judgement...
...household with an alcoholic parent (Clinton's stepfather, Bowles' mother, long since recovered). But the pair are opposites in many ways. "I spent my whole life in the private sector, he in the public," observes Bowles. "Some of my greatest strengths are in organization and structure; he is a freer thinker than I am." Clinton has always been a showboater; Bowles was forever modest. One of his prep-school teachers stuck a note in his school file praising his respectful manners with a prescient metaphor: "When you're in a duck blind with him and he shoots the bird...
