Vickie and Joe Corbett don't have the luxury of spoiling their granddaughter Tiana and then just sending her back to Mom. These North Carolina grandparents tuck Tiana into bed at night and make her breakfast every morning; they pay for her school and her doctors. Instead of traveling and seeing friends, as they expected to do in their autumn years, they are back in the business of going to birthday parties and pta meetings. For the past seven years, since Tiana's mother left the baby with a sitter and never picked her up (her father moved...
CAPE FEAR The evergreen fashion conundrum: Will it be passe before you pay for it? Last year's shoulder-hugging shrug is as good as donated.

Trade it in for a new shrug come next year...
...brings to mind: blurry. To begin with, although the former Senator says he's still working on the fine print, most experts, including some who advised Bradley, agree that his $65 billion-a-year cost estimate is too low. Worse, he expects to use the projected budget surplus to pay for it all but has no fallback plan in the event that the surplus does not materialize. Bradley also overpromises.

Even after Bradley's tax break, a family of four making $50,000 would still have to find $4,250 a year. On other questions, the Bradley team offers the most favorable interpretation--for instance, hoping that the federal health plan that now covers a relatively healthy middle-class work force will not see its costs go up with the arrival of poorer and potentially less...
