...around the world on how to switch from controlled to free-market economies. "She had a certain extra dimension, a real analytical mind," he observes. "Her thesis concerned Japan's trade performance after each shock in oil prices during the '70s and '80s, and how the country paid for fuel by increasing exports. She devised computer work that was sophisticated, especially for an undergraduate...
...Breaux's proposals form the basis of a compromise that ensures Senate passage of Clinton's economic plan -- and helps shred the tax-and-spend label that has contributed to the President's dive in the polls -- then a health- care-reform scheme that proves nonthreatening to business could fuel a sustained economic recovery.

So this week the President talks about protecting Macedonia and he supports a U.N. border patrol to monitor Serbia's promise to cut off supplies to their Bosnian Serb brothers, which we already know is bogus, since fuel trucks have been passing the checkpoints without trouble. Next week after a few more editorials slam us for diddling around, we'll probably hear about the possibility of some other stunt. It's all a joke -- and particularly Macedonia. I mean, a bunch of troops go over there to get better seats...
