From a candidate who styles himself an outsider, those are impressive inside moves. The problem is that "what Austin wants" carries a lot less weight in the Republicans' inner councils than it did a few months ago. G.O.P. sources tell TIME that last fall, after Clinton vetoed Congress's $792 billion tax cut, it was pressure from the Bush campaign that helped shut down Republican discussions of whether to chop that tax relief into smaller pieces, pass it in increments and force the President's hand. Now that the Bush campaign has stumbled, lawmakers are far less certain...

The judge lets the white kid go with his family; he's placed in a private treatment program. The minority kid has no such option. He's detained...
...Census Bureau had suggested a way to avoid this undercount, using statistical techniques to determine a more accurate estimate of the total population. Unfortunately, these techniques (known as "statistical sampling") were banned last year by a GOP Congress concerned that the minorities and inner-city voters who comprise a disproportionate number of the undercounted would elect Democrats and that more accurate numbers would threaten Republican seats. (The same Congress later attempted to include the census as an "emergency" appropriation, presumably because no one could have predicted that the year 2000 would come exactly ten years after 1990.)
