...Peterson plan, endorsed by more than 250 investment bankers and other members of the financial establisment, was featured in The Atlantic and publicized in two-page advertisements in several major newspapers. The ads stated: "We have joined together to urge our fellow Americans and this nation's leaders to rise above politics as usual to set aside differences--of party, region, ideology, and even immediate self-interest--in order to resolve our worsening economic problems before its too late." Peterson asserts, quite correctly, that the nation has been living beyond its means: spending and consuming too much, collecting and producing...

Inside, a five-page letter sang the praises of the Republic series on mismanagement in the Bureau of Indian Affairs and a thick stack of documents attested to the story's impact. "Next year I'm automatically going to vote against any entry that weighs more than I do," joked one weary reader. Juror...
...began with an eleven-page complaint over the alleged violation of an arcane bit of copyright law. But by last week it was clear to the computer industry that the federal lawsuit filed by Apple Computer against Microsoft, a leading U.S. software firm, and Hewlett-Packard, a major electronics company, could be just the opening salvo in a monumental legal battle. The dispute pits two of the best-known figures in the industry against each other: John Sculley, 49, president of Apple; and Bill Gates, 32, chairman of Microsoft. It also seems calculated to derail the plans...
