Policies and power aside, the unerringly controversial and unconsidered commentary of our Democratic state Speaker reminds me a little too much of the antics of the Republican Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Both men are more enamored of neat rhetoric than they are of reasoned statements or even sensible ones. Who could forget Gingrich's famous speech at the 1996 Republican convention on beach volleyball: "A mere 40 years ago, beach volleyball was just beginning. Now it is not only a sport in the Olympics. There are over 30 countries that have a competition internationally....And there...
...when they were this much cheaper than the large caps. If you don't have time to research individual companies, consider a solid small-cap fund like Babson Enterprise II or Berger Small Cap Value, or a Russell 2000 index fund, which gathers the small-cap castoffs in a neat bundle. Or buy a fund based on the Wilshire 5000 index, which includes both large- and small-cap stocks. Both types are sold by fund companies like Vanguard and Fidelity. But do me a favor, and do one for yourself...
...division between yesterday and today and tomorrow is not quite as neat as he would have us believe. Time changes people, but it does not change them immediately or completely. The President says he made a mistake with Monica S. Lewinsky, but that we should now move forward. Perhaps tomorrow will bring a new Bill Clinton, one who won't have an affair with a 21-year-old intern on the country's time, in the country's house, and one who doesn't lie to the electorate. Perhaps yesterday really is gone. I hope...
WASHINGTON: Could Congress find a neat conclusion to the Lewinsky mess -- by giving Bill Clinton a 164-year-old slap on the wrist? Congressional censure of the President: It hasn't been used since Andrew Jackson, has absolutely no legal ramifications, and 55 percent of people say they want the President to get one. "Impeachment is the nuclear option," says TIME Washington correspondent Jay Branegan. "It's not proportional to the crime. Censure is, and it's very much a possibility. There are current precedents, too: Newt Gingrich got censured, and that didn't diminish his stature...
Most important is the films' mood: romantically retro. The sunny disposition, the swooning sentiment, the neat haircuts whisk you back to the pastel '50s--to Doris Day comedies and Gene Kelly musicals--and, even earlier, to the studied innocence of MGM's teen tuners starring Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, but with a little sex. And even that is so sweet it's tweet. (In Broadway Damage two young lovers climb up a tree for their first kiss. No kidding.) It makes sense that O'Haver, who evokes the retro spirit with such expert elan, has signed with Universal Pictures...
