With her pixieish smile intact, Ernestine manages to dart out of the thicket and rejoin her husband. Now he can play tour guide--a mordant commentator who wants us to know he finds this ritual, like so many other campaign rituals, faintly ridiculous. "All right, well, this is the church," he says. "These trees are tulip trees. And as you can see, it's one of those great stone churches." He tells us how his father, a bank president who suffered from calcified arthritis of the spine, used to "sit and look out at this churchyard, and it gave...
Last year Congress nudged the program in the right direction, but the steps were meek: four-year-olds who know 10 letters of the alphabet, for example, are felt to be on track. Bush would require lessons that stress prereading and math, teachers who can teach this and evaluations to make sure it is done well. If existing centers don't deliver, Bush would sensibly make them compete with others for their federal contract...

Gore watched Clinton?s gay-rights campaign rhetoric capture the gay vote in 1992, and then saw the President?s inclusive military initiative drowned by the protests from the Pentagon and Congress, resulting in the wishy-washy "don't ask, don't tell." It?s also unclear whether President Gore or President Bradley would have the clout to get homosexual-rights laws passed. "Both men would...
...game the Line can pick, even after an off day, is a CHIEFS-Broncos matchup. This time around, both teams are 0-1 and feeling a little desperate. What gives Kansas City the edge is that, unlike the Mile High boys, who merely suspect it, the Griefs truly know they're not going to be playing in January. Take KC plus 3 1/2 points...
