...Bush has held three working sessions with the task force, which is scheduled to send its report to the printer's this week. The President is planning a high-profile rollout in mid-May, including three days of travel to sell his proposals. If that doesn't heat up America's energy debate, blackouts in California and elsewhere this summer should do the job. Democrats in Congress, which must approve many of the panel's ideas, are relishing the opportunity to brand Bush as an environmental rogue. Beyond that, there's the nimby problem. California might be going dark...
...will eat a bagel with peanut butter for dinner two nights in a row, then blow $10 on a fancy deli sandwich for lunch. I will scour Filene's Basement for $5 tights to wear with my $200 boots.

...need an affordable workhorse for everyday homework or research, Xerox's M750 is the smartest choice. Of the five printers I tested, its text on ordinary paper was consistently among the best, even on envelopes. As for speed, it was either the fastest or second fastest on every task, topping out at 9 sec. per page. It was also the only printer tested that had a covered paper tray for keeping out dust and hair. Photos and graphics weren't nearly as good as they were with the Epson, but they weren...
