...President's budget plan cleared another hurdle when Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee struck a deal on new tax increases and spending cuts. They eliminated Clinton's $72 billion tax on all forms of energy, substituting a 4.3 cents-per-gal. motor-fuels tax that will raise just $24 billion over the next five years and tacked on a 2.8% increase in the capital-gains tax for the affluent.

Students are expected to regurgitate their answers at such high speeds that persistent hand cramps, if not full-blown carpal tunnel syndrome, is all but inevitable.

The law will require states to allow people to register to vote when applying for a driver's license, as well as to register by mail and at welfare offices and military recruiting stations. The new system will presumably add many more Democrats than Republicans to the voter rolls...
