...housewife, visiting from Chicago, stared in disbelief at cranberry juice that cost nearly $7 a quart at the going exchange rate, some four times as much as a similar bottle would sell for back home. A large box of Cheerios cost more than $12. But it was the meat counter, she says, that "really threw me for a loop." There she discovered roast beef for about $16 a quarter-pound. That made McBain wonder whether her husband, an advertising executive, should uproot their family and accept an offer from his company to transfer to Japan...

Believe it or not, The Union has everything that you have received with...

His record and reputation are those of a pragmatic centrist. And all those qualities smell unpleasantly of George Bush to the red-meat conservative voters who dominate the G.O.P.'s crucial early contests. As a result, Alexander has shifted sharply to the right on issues of special interest to conservatives-from abortion to affirmative action. He announced his candidacy last week wearing the red-and-black plaid flannel shirt that became his trademark when...
