...apparently, the belief has become instilled so deeply into the hearts and minds of today's young feminists that the process of reasoning behind the belief is irrelevant. The outcome is a hollow mantra, which is applied indiscriminately to any and all situations as an instant and legitimate cure...

FORTUNE now rates Callaway as the 14th fastest-growing company...

America isn't close to beginning "a great national journey" (as Clinton grandly advertised his proposed departures last February), but the budgetary road about to be taken is nothing like any Bush would have traveled...
