What then is to be done? First, let us raise the number of courses needed to graduate to 36. Second, let us limit the number of courses any concentration can demand to 12. Finally, let us move concentration selection to the end of the sophomore year, after students would have completed 13 courses and be in the middle of 4 or 5 others. In this way, assuming the Core stays more or less as it is, students would have 12 courses in the area of concentration, eight Cores, two language, one Expos and thirteen electives...
FOND DU LAC, Wisconsin: Seeking to retake the high ground on welfare reform from President Clinton, Bob Dole on Tuesday endorsed a five-year time limit on welfare benefits and said states should have the option of requiring mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients. Dole said welfare and other Great Society programs represent the failures of liberalism: "Today, it stands as its greatest shame; a grand failure that has crushed the spirit, destroyed the families and decimated the culture of those who have become enmeshed in its web."

Renting a car in Omaha and heading west at 75 m.p.h., I figured, I would run through my windfall somewhere between North Platte and Ogallala...
...Alabama doctor dissatisfied with his BMW. Althought businesses around the country hailed today's decision as a victory, the ruling did not contain any new legal guidelines for future punitive damages caps. The Court only made clear that the awards in this case were excessive and "transcended the constitutional limit". Among the dissenting judges, Antonin Scalia wrote for himself and Clarence Thomas that the ruling is "an unjustified incursion into the province of state governments." Ruth Bader Ginsburg supported that view in a seperate dissent: "The court, I am convinced, unnecessarily and unwisely ventures into territory within the states' domain...
