...files for election a place on the ballot for November elections. If America had instant-runoff, a majority of abolitionists might have elected an abolitionist president in 1844, and a majority of liberals might have elected a liberal president in 2000. The winning candidate of every election could proclaim the support of a majority of the electorate, and elections would be about policy preferences instead of gamesmanship. A strong democracy requires a strong electoral foundation, and decades of history and analysis of voting systems prove that we must change our voting system to preserve the legitimacy of our democracy...

Nor does she buy into every conspiracy theory that crackles along the patriot grapevine, like last week's alert that the Oklahoma catastrophe-which "patriots" suspect involved three bombs, not one-was a government plot to enable President Clinton to proclaim martial law and divert attention from forthcoming hearings on the Whitewater financial scandal.

Indeed, in that country, unlike in Germany and the U.S., elected politicians dictate what federal rate-setters ought to prioritize...
Sonia’s usual style isn’t exactly sweat pants, hair tied back, chillin’ with no make up on, but she does proclaim her love for low-maintenance shoes (“I’m a big, big fan of flats”). Her personal style changes depending on the specific day of the week. “For that 10 a.m. Stat 100 class last semester, I would sport a hoodie, jeans, and glasses pretty much every morning,” she said. “But other than those instances, I would...
