...obvious next question is who Draskovic thinks he is. It is not an easy one to answer. If any opposition leader has the skills and the organization to replace Milosevic, he has. A gifted orator with demagogic instincts, he heads the influential Serbian Renewal Movement. At the same time, Draskovic may be more problem than solution. He has been on all sides of key issues, both inside the government and out. He can't quite decide whether Milosevic can be ousted by a mass movement or should be enticed to resign...

New spending, which neither party trusts the other to lay off of -- bad. Saving for the future ?- good. Putting all your eggs in one tax-cut basket and hoping for the best -? bad. All in all, Greenspan signed off on a rather conservative, rather Republican philosophy. It?s just that the Republican who?s getting all the credit for it is Bill Clinton...
