MIAMI BEACH: "All across the nation, our citizens can stand down and breathe a sigh of relief," police Chief Richard Barreto proclaimed today. "The reign of terror brought upon us by Andrew Cunanan is over." But as the saga wound down today, neither the Miami police nor the federal authorities were bearing any resemblance to Sgt. Joe Friday. The nationwide manhunt--which was briefly a womanhunt--turned up sightings in every state of the union except Alaska only to end 40 blocks from where it began. And TIME's Miami Bureau Chief Tammerlin Drummond reports that despite reported sightings...
...least the idea of Oxford provides isolated relief against reality, even if the functioning of the university itself does not. No wonder so many complain bitterly, but simultaneously feel such loyalty to the idea of Oxford: it tempts us with the myths we want...
...Medicare age from 65 to 67 and charging higher premiums to wealthy recipients; the House bill does not.

Republicans insist that 75% of the House cuts go to families making less than $75,000; Democrats say 70% of the cuts go to the richest 20% of Americans. (Both sides use self-serving methodology.)

And getting a good deal from Clinton is never easy. "If [Republicans] think Lucy's going to keep the football...
...Republicans who have been the savviest wielders of Web power, starting with such notable early efforts as Thomas, the comprehensive Congressional website named for Thomas Jefferson. Now the Democrats are catching up. When the Republicans trotted out their tax calculator to show how their tax cut proposal provides "Relief for Every Taxpayer In Every Stage of Life," the Democrats quickly swung into action with a calculator of their own. The not-so-surprising conclusion: if you're rich, have lots of kids or make most of your money from capital gains, the GOP is looking...
