Despite its recent setbacks, the voucher movement is gaining ground in state legislatures and some state courts. This fall Florida started the first statewide voucher program. And the Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld the use of vouchers in parochial schools in Milwaukee. In the presidential campaign, G.O.P. candidates John McCain and George W. Bush are trumpeting voucher proposals. While Vice President Al Gore launched an ad that calls vouchers a "big mistake," his Democratic opponent Bill Bradley supports them, at least as "experiments...

...case you didn't get one, here are the holiday greetings the presidential types are mailing their many best friends. Counterclockwise from bottom, you'll find Hatch's card (with a Christmas song sheet inside), George W.'s (with a biblical message) and family portraits galore (McCain, Bauer, Gore, Keyes, Forbes, Buchanan); Bradley claims he didn't send cards. The most tastefully sedate one--can you believe it?--features a wreath from The Donald. But only the Clintons have the White House on theirs.

When will the U.S. finally realize that the billions of dollars it has given to help Russia's faltering economy have been spent on political corruption and on bombs and bullets for the Chechen war? George W. Bush and John McCain are right in suggesting that aid to Russia should cease if the war in Chechnya continues.

How long will it be before the U.S. is once again facing a hostile enemy...

...Dubya's case, as local as your PC. On Monday, the Bush camp announced that it will be targeting web sites likely to be used by GOP primary voters in Iowa and New Hampshire, and in the coming weeks will festoon them with banner ads. GOP rival John McCain previously experimented with banners, but not at the same level of marketing sophistication - Bush's people cross-referenced lists of registered Republican and Independent voters with lists of users of various web sites. A web surfer who, for example, clicks on the Nashua NRA chapter page in the coming weeks could...
