Reno tells TIME that she is ready to parry. She notes that as America's top cop she oversaw a drop in national crime statistics eight years in a row. As for her chances against Bush: "Folks in the [Florida] Panhandle know as well as folks in Miami that the base line for excellence in areas like education, criminal justice and the environment should be higher here." What about her Parkinson's disease? As Reno, 63, travels the state in a red Ford pickup, her de facto campaign symbol, her illness hardly seems an issue. Says ex-N.O.W. president...

...wasn?t long ago when colleges looked the other way when students with blood- shot eyes wearing last night?s clothes slumped into the back row of the lecture hall.

...forget to credit Billie Jean King for what she said off court as much as what she did on. And don't leave out Gloria and Germaine and Susan B. (Don't Call Me Babe) Anthony, the murderers row of women's rights. This is deeper than tennis, deeper than sport. It's about opportunity and encouragement; it's about cultural attitudes--or, as we say in the sports pages, 'tudes. We would not be in the Golden Age of Women's Sports if we hadn't had a sea change in sociopolitical 'tude...
Though the Fed voiced concern about sagging corporate profits and the slowdown in capital spending, there are some encouraging signals. The index of leading economic indicators was up for the fourth month in a row in July. The country is still essentially at full employment, and manufacturing (excluding technology) is showing signs of stabilizing. Given all that, strategists such as Steve Young of Banc of America Capital Management have confidence the economy is in the "bottoming-out process." That bodes well for U.S. equities...
