...plan. By my reckoning, the libertarians won none of them. My favorite moment came when Jerry Taylor of the Cato Institute began pacing behind the podium, pulling his chin as he realized that his "let the market decide" rhetoric wasn't going over very well against former CIA Director Jim Woolsey's argument that, as a matter of national security, the U.S. government should support hybrid technology and alternative fuels. Taylor actually proposed that the poverty and dissatisfaction such a policy might cause in places like Saudi Arabia might create more terrorists...
...fans in attendance seemed to equal, if not exceed, Crimson supporters, and with no Harvard cheerleaders in sight, Yale’s cheerleading squad took the floor at every opportunity.

...Senate could have a greater say in the proceedings. Although Dole did not get his way, his gambit spurred lawmakers to form two select congressional committees to deal with the investigation. He and Byrd will appoint a 13-member panel of seven Democrats and six Republicans. Incoming Speaker Jim Wright and Republican Minority Leader Robert Michel will choose a 15-member House committee made up of nine Democrats and six Republicans. Their public hearings will begin when the 100th Congress convenes in January...
