...Democratic voters were alarmed by Bush's juggernaut, they were appalled at the Washington Democrats, who just lay down in front of it. Ted Kennedy compromised on school testing to help pass Bush's education bill, only to see the promised extra funding disappear. Rather than try to block the Bush tax cuts, Democrats focused on reducing their size. Just as Republicans could not stop Clinton from appropriating fiscal responsibility and crime fighting as Democratic issues, Democrats could not stop Bush from claiming victory on prescription drugs, immigration and the Homeland Security Department--a department that was first proposed...
...simplest level, GarageBand lets you lay down loopsprerecorded short riffs by drums, bass, piano and so on. There are 1,000 loops to choose from on the basic software and 2,000 more on the $99 add-on, Jam Pack. Here's the clever bit: the loops are arranged not just by instrument but also under mood-based headings like "Relaxed," "Intense," "Cheerful" and so on. Click and drag your loops into the score, and they become interactive. You can stretch and splice them like lumps of Play-Doh. In just 10 minutes I found I could intuitively assemble...

He is an important member of the President's national security team. President Bush values his counsel, judgment and principled leadership. STEVE HADLEY, ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND DEPUTY NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER Washington...

With Congress recently passing a bill revising prescription drug coverage for seniors and the election approaching, the issue remains hot. Some lay the blame on the drug companies: their profit margins are nearly twice as high as other U.S. industries, and they employ hundreds of lobbyists in Washington. But it was Congress who gave up the authority to negotiate drug prices on Medicare's behalf, and drug companies say price controls will only hurt their ever-expanding drug research programs. What...
...pharmaceutical research. Military R&D got us cell phones, the Internet, and Teflon. Instead of making life-saving drugs a lucrative business venture, the government should be the one funding in the first place so that patents won't be an issue. And people take way too many drugs. Lay off. Maurna Desmond Los Angeles, Calif...
