...cries when Lori slips outside to sit on the porch steps and have a cigarette and a glass of Tang. She won't smoke in front of him, but this is what counts as her down time, and it's a soft, cool, edge-of-autumn night full of wishing stars. The 1986 Ford Country Squire station wagon, gray-green with faux wood paneling, sits in the driveway. She bought it when she was pregnant. Some people build bookcases or drop $250 on a souped-up stroller. But this is the way a car girl nests. "I don't care...
What fascinates me about Graffix is that while (by my best guess) it stays in business by selling its bongs to pot smokers, it is able to skirt drug paraphernalia laws by maintaining that the glass tubes are tobacco delivery systems. Caught in a vice between the pressures of the market and those of the law, Graffix faces some very sticky questions: How should it respond to the fact that it helps customers get high?

Dole's 15% tax cut is his one big idea (the symbol of less government and more individuality), but he is so uncomfortable with it that he has trouble keeping it at the forefront of his campaign, not to mention persuading voters that he actually believes...
Perhaps the Crimson should read the old proverb about glass houses, or at least listen to the old blues tune, "Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself." In the same editorial, the editorial staff whines, "The biggest hope for Democratic initiative in the next four years is a jobs bill...." The Crimson is welcome to yearn for the days of the nanny state, but must it really claim that such old nonsense represents the future? Even Dick Gephardt claims no longer to believe in Big Government, Provider of Jobs. Apparently the Crimson staff has watched the movie Dave...
