...GREEN Fuse is one of those rare creatures whose ranks are just beginning to swell: a Harvard rock band that plays original music...
...deficit is a time bomb with a lighted fuse," says Johnston, the senior Senator from Louisiana. "Bush's tendered solution, his 'flexible freeze,' is deja voodoo all over again.

As the gun went off last week, Johnson burst out of the blocks, seized the lead, and held it. Lewis, on the other hand, got a characteristically slower start, but instead of accelerating past his adversary, he looked to his right three times, always to see Johnson in front...
