...yeah? What's art, doc? You mean those six-minute strips of animated paint and ink that served as anarchic baby sitters for a couple of generations of Satur- day-matinee kids? A duck getting its beak blown askew by an irate hunter is art? Well, yeah, when the duck is Daffy and the hunter is the dully malevolent Elmer Fudd. In Rabbit Seasoning (1952), Daffy and Bugs are out to convince Elmer that the other is the legally blastable species.

To congressional leaders who are more worried about red ink than reform, a tax increase cloaked as tax reform has great appeal. Though few will come right out and endorse a minimum tax at this stage of the budget process, congressional leaders are not + disavowing such a strategy either. "It's a live option," says Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, whose own aspirations for the White House are tied closely to his effort to slash the deficit...
