In trying to explain to Cheney why a tax hike mooted by the President might not be such a great idea, Laffer drew a chart on a napkin that showed government revenues increasing as the tax rate...
...don’t live near Harvard Yard, and I don’t know how civilized things are there. I have lived most of my life in Texas.

Despite this evidence, suspicion lingered that there was something incongruous about an experienced kayaker drowning on a day when the sea was, in the words of one member of the rescue effort, "smooth as a millpond."

...awry in failed attacks - would have almost certainly set off the totality of the charge. The theory that the smaller explosion sought to generate an even larger shock wave in media reports seems odd as well. "What would the point being made have been - that the bomb blew up near a Jewish organization that went untouched?" Jacquard asks. "Never rule anything out, but at this point, I'd look at the client and cases the law office handled. That seems to be where this probably came from...
