...Senate bill written by Democrats Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York and Robert Kerrey of Nebraska would allow workers to divert 2% into investment accounts but would lower guaranteed benefits to what could be financed out of the remaining 10.4%. Feldstein has an even better idea: keep present tax and benefit rates but have the government deposit into individual accounts an additional 2% of each worker's earnings, up to the prescribed annual taxable limit.

"The New York media being what they are," says Bill Cunningham, who ran Moynihan's last campaign, "they would be looking for new ways to bring up old questions." How would Hillary hold up under scrutiny into Filegate, Travelgate, Whitewater, her commodities trades, to say nothing of inquiries about her marriage? On recent p.r.-friendly trips, she has frozen up when reporters pulled...
