...boom-and-bust cycles before Jan. 20, 2009, rolls around. The ways of presidential resurrection are many. We've seen sagging Presidents revive their fortunes in a trice. In 1995 Bill Clinton had to insist that he was "still relevant" in a city that had fallen in love with Newt Gingrich's Republican revolution. But a few days later, he was a hero again after his eloquent handling of the Oklahoma City tragedy. George W. Bush's own presidency was limping along until it was transformed on Sept. 11, 2001. But you can't order...
...says it is "high time for a cease-fire" between the liberal and conservative wings of her party.

But, he adds, it's important to keep the relative risks in perspective. Should you get into a car wreck, he says, "if you're an absolute privacy addict...
...conservative U.S. Chamber of Commerce to the liberal AFL-CIO had been meeting secretly for seven months because they were worried about the sketchy, inefficient quality of American health care and wanted to figure out a proposal for universal coverage. Two weeks earlier, Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Newt Gingrich, the yin and yang of politics in the 1990s, announced that they had found common ground on the issue as well. The renewed search for a comprehensive health-care solution reflects a deeper tide of concern in corporate America over the debilitating costs of providing health insurance and pensions...
