...Capitol Hill, Powell would rate rock bottom on any list of Congressmen's Congressman. His absenteeism is monumental (last year's roll call attendance: 46%); he is noisy, obstructionist and, above all, ineffective. Last year, for example, he insisted on tacking a civil rights clause to the much-needed $1.5 billion school construction bill.

...student's faith was supposed to extend to 1,000 or more herbs, minerals, metals and even precious stones listed in the ayurvedic pharmacopoeia. (The gems were once favored by the practitioners who list themselves in India's telephone books as "sex splst," were supposed to increase virility. With the republican leveling-down, few patients can afford ground-up precious stones, or even pearls. So they settle for sea shells. But they still flock to the ayurvedic sex splst...
