...when you suggest their boss is Clinton, the triangulator, but without the action pants. They'd rather throw Tony Blair's name on the table for the way Blair moved England's Labour Party to the center. Even the Wall Street Journal made that comparison last month, holding its nose and flattering the Democratic Governor in the reluctant, quivering tone one might use to proclaim that proctological exams, while unpleasant, can be a good thing...
Very nice, but that's more of a slogan than a vision, say killjoy Republicans like Brulte and Baugh. And even jealous Democrats suggest--anonymously--that Davis sees no further than to the bottom line of the latest poll that's dropped under his nose. Once he tests the wind, "he's great at splitting the difference and being in the middle for middle's sake rather than because that's where he wants to be," says one Democrat...
Maybe you don't mind the dents your glasses have carved into the sides of your nose. Maybe you actually enjoy cleaning your contact lenses. But if you're anything like the 160 million other people in the U.S. who wear contact lenses or glasses, then you've probably occasionally wondered what your life would be like with perfect vision.

...sniffles? You may want to put down that Kleenex. A study released Friday at the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy in San Francisco says that nose blowing may prolong and even worsen a cold. Researchers at the University of Virginia had healthy volunteers blow their noses and measured the pressure inside the subjects? sinus cavities. They found that nose blowing creates an enormous amount of internal pressure - a force that can drive mucus streaming with bacteria and viruses back into the sinuses, possibly making a cold worse...
