...bulb of a face, and with George Bush--George Bush--finally able to look old Ron in the eye and say, "Well, pard...," it sure feels like I'm choking on a nation-wide haze of loose strands of woollen argyle and wafting fumes of Bean's Best Leather Oil. So I decided to get on a train. Heading north...

Bush himself, by James Baker's count, has proposed $40 billion in additional spending for new domestic initiatives, including more than $6 billion in oil and capital-gains tax breaks. Upward pressure on the deficit will be inexorable. A combination of new user fees, tax-rate adjustments and other masking devices is the likely route Bush will take around his no-new-tax campaign pledge. Richard Darman's first job if he becomes Office of Management...
