...after President Clinton announced a campaign that focused on reducing not only the supply but also the demand for drugs, the GOP struck back with an old standby: Just say "No mas" -- legislation that would greatly beef up the U.S. presence on the border in order to halt the inflow of drugs...
...kind of "white flight" is going on in America today, but unlike the middle-class exodus from multiethnic cities to the suburbs a generation ago, this middle-class migration is from crowded, predominantly white suburbs to small towns and rural counties.

Result: the Dow climbed 10% from the start...
...popular destination is California, where many Taiwanese have business and family ties. From July to October 1995, $3 billion flowed from Taiwan into Southern California banks alone. Before 1995, the inflow to the U.S. averaged just $250 million a year. Considering Taiwan's abundance of capital, however, its recent flight has not reached alarming levels...
