...alternative is obvious," he says. "But is it the best thing to do? If you start a third party and do everything perfectly, you have started down a path that will probably take 10 years [to capture] the White House, the House and the Senate. Can't make it overnight. We don't have 10 years." Taming the deficit, overhauling Medicare, reforming the campaign-finance system are too urgent, he says, and "the most constructive thing for our country is to revitalize the two major parties...
...daily injections of a new hormone, however, the tubby rodents suddenly started consuming less food and burning more fat. They shed those excess ounces and trimmed 30% off their bloated size. Even better, their cholesterol readings fell, as did the high glucose levels that made them mildly diabetic. Virtually overnight, it seemed, the mice perked up, preening and prancing about their cages...
Serbia's President Slobodan Milosevic may dupe the international community, but the man who started the war cannot become a peacemaker overnight.

The huge hospital complex, which serves 60,000 overnight clients and 855,000 outpatients a year, is an island of security in violence-riven East L.A. If it were to close, smaller, private facilities might fail to replicate the quality of its burn center and trauma ward; or, most important, its commitment to the uninsured poor, who make up 40% of its customers. Already furious at California's anti-immigrant Proposition 187, local leaders see Reed...
