...that the U.S. has lately enjoyed "superstrong growth, superlow inflation and a superlow unemployment rate." That could not happen if productivity were really as low as the official figures indicate, he says; the numbers--er, do not compute. So productivity must be increasing faster than calculated, and one likely reason is computerization. Maybe the experts need somebody who can design a computer program to measure that elusive productivity increase once...
...party's chances for capturing 20 or more seats in the House, as well as three to five seats in the Senate and nearly as many statehouses, depend on the very group of voters who are most eager to see impeachment through. For Gingrich too there is a practical reason for waiting. Starr could still have damaging material that he has yet to release, so why take the chance of letting the President off the hook...
Republicans know that at a minimum they must appear reasonable.

When your child is lying on a stretcher, or your spouse is worrying about a lump, there is no time to learn about how these places work. You just want them to take care of you. One of the great democratic privileges of American society is the premise that all people have a right to the best possible care, regardless of whether they have the means to pay for it; the law requires hospitals to treat...
