...striking lack of antimonarchist sentiment was perhaps the most impressive tribute to Elizabeth's quarter-century reign. The vast majority of her subjects clearly appreciate the manner in which she has fulfilled her unique constitutional role: embodying the nation's unity, providing historical continuity, standing above party strife and class divisions.

The American Institute of Architects faults the program for not counting items like sunshades as energy savers worthy of tax credits.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is concerned about the entire program, saying that it would eliminate a million jobs, cause...
