...tone for the debate that will follow on the Senate floor. On the contrary, it now increasingly looks like the HELP Committee will be playing a subordinate role in the debate to the Senate Finance Committee, whose chairman, Max Baucus of Montana, says he expects to begin the markup (or formal drafting) of his own, likely more centrist, bill next week. Also likely to fall to Baucus and the Finance Committee will be the most difficult question of all about health reform...
...clearest sign of Kennedy's absence from the committee is what's still missing from the draft legislation. Committee chair members on Capitol Hill generally prefer to go into markup with a version of a bill that is as close as possible to what they expect to see in the finished product.

Few venues let couples stock their own bar, but limiting the open bar is a fine option for capping the caterer's markup on the booze. Annemarie Conte and Andy Kielich will serve beer and wine and maybe two types of liquor at their September wedding in Dingmans Ferry, Pa. "We can't cater to every whim," says Conte, "which was hard for me because you never want to feel inhospitable." Briones suggests...
