...vote, is likely to withstand a veto anyway. In a few weeks, reports Austin bureau chief S.C. Gwynne, workers will begin posting signs raising the state speed limit to 70 mph over 77,000 miles of Texas highways. A number of like-minded Western states are giving motorists freer rein: Kansas, Nevada and Wyoming will raise the limit to 75 mph, while Oklahoma and South Dakota will set theirs at 70. The best state for Unser wannabes? Montana, where the only limit will be how fast eight cylinders can move...
Nonetheless, Powell could be the best thing possible for the Republican Party. Capable of attracting widespread moderate votes, Powell could solidify the realignment taking place and make the Republican Party the dominant party for the foreseeable future.

Not that I do this very often, of course. But when I do, I now find myself subjected to involuntary cross-examination by a teeny little, very incredulous Barry Scheck voice. I think this is what psychiatrists call "internalizing." I'm hoping it goes...
...midway on the G.O.P. right-wing's wish list. No, the candidate told his advisers, that would be "inappropriate" for an audience concerned with military matters. In stead Dole reiterated his essentially centrist themes, as he did all across the South last week. Dole kept saying he wants to "rein in government and return power to the people," but he also kept saying "government does a lot of good things" and that voters should look around them and see those whom government programs have helped. "I don't want to scare people," Dole says, "and I won't take them...
