...also remembers not caring greatly for it at the time, probably because she had become "allergic to psychiatric conversations." But Kubrick, she recalls, took the passion of their arguments about the "dream story" as evidence that material so stirring must be worth doing. In any case, using Jay Cocks, then a young film reporter for TIME, as a front, on the grounds that Cocks might acquire rights to the book more cheaply than a famous filmmaker could, Kubrick bought the property. For the next 2 1/2 decades the book haunted...
...wrangle over the legislation was as much over policy as over politics. On the policy front, says TIME White House correspondent Jay Branegan, "Republicans tried to use the Y2K legislation to take a big whack at tort reform, but the White House succeeded in keeping the measure limited to Y2K issues."

"That call for bipartisanship was made in a partisan way, and on the big stuff like Social Security and Medicare, there?s just too much work to be done." But the incremental President may have a shot at some small gains. "He?ll probably win again on taxes," says Branegan. "The Republicans are in too much disarray, and the clamor for broad cuts is still a lot louder on the Hill than it is with voters."
