Dole's statesmanlike stands on Bosnia and ending the government shutdown have earned him no credit in Le Mars, says Klingensmith. "Folks lump Dole with the others in Washington whom they hate," he adds. Says Dan Wells, the dairy executive: "We thought we ended the gridlock with the '94 election. At this point you'd have to say I'm for Dole somewhat. I mean, I could change...
...Republican Congress wants to change all that. In place of an open-ended entitlement, the G.O.P. proposes block grants that would essentially give states a lump sum each year to spend for Medicaid's traditional purposes as the states see fit. The G.O.P. would then slow the growth rates of these "Medigrants" from the current forecast of 10% yearly to 5%, with some states coming down to as little as 2% growth.

...Israel's Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin can shake Arafat's hand with what is probably a much larger lump in his throat than mine, I can certainly bring myself to applaud. Not too loud though, and without any cheering--an ambivalent applause. Arafat does not deserve to be received with whole-hearted approval and respect. The Arafat of today should not be let off the hook for the crimes he committed yesterday. As he gets up to speak he should feel the same lump in his throat which he has caused so many others to feel...
