What Clinton desperately needed a year ago was not an economic quarrel but an attractive campaign issue: a proposal to expand health insurance to everyone without asking for any painful trade-offs from the vast majority of Americans. Now that he's President, however, Clinton is finding it difficult to deliver the four-course free lunch that he promised. The health-care initiative he unveiled to the nation last Wednesday, though widely praised for boldness and compassion, is drawing fire on precisely the point identified by Aaron and others: the rosy assumptions that undergird its financing.

The drawings and prints alone, which show the mutual development of Titian and Giorgione in intimate detail, reveal the use made of their designs by engravers like Domenico Campagnola and demonstrate Titian's own astonishing power and inventiveness...
...quarrel among the politicians has left the machinery of government so damaged it is hard to see how it can be made to work again soon. Yeltsin's referendum was intended to settle whether Russians wanted a parliamentary or presidential republic, but even if he won he would have found it hard to enforce the outcome. Any decision on a new constitution would have to come from the Congress's unwilling legislators. In any case, as long as this power struggle continues and the two leaders are engaged in personal combat, the real loser is the reform program, which...
