...That doesn't give you a sense of psychological well-being. Part of what drives these people is realizing that the promise of the Horatio Alger story is a myth. They didn't know that money would be so dissatisfying when it finally arrived. Yet instead of turning inward and saying, "I need a mid- course correction here," you get more of the same. They don't say, "If $200,000 didn't make me happy, why should $300,000?" It's bad logic. It's what I call well-intentioned self-destruction. Why not switch to more control...

Four weeks later, the Times's own James Reston argued that "the main threat to our nation's security ((comes)) from within" and urged Bush to build a "new American order." Meanwhile, Peter Peterson, chairman of both the Council on Foreign...
KQED promises to handle Harris' execution tastefully. But you can't force good taste into people's living rooms. There's nothing anyone can do about the "Gas the Bastard" parties, the "Every Time He Twitches" drinking games, the inward smiles of satisfaction...
