Usually, however, students merely glance at its cover--to see how the funky graphics have changed from the year before--and then tuck it away for safekeeping. Breaking the book's seal, many fear, would be a mistake comparable to Pandora's famous gaffe, for it would spell the immediate end to the carefree days of summer vacation...
...House-Senate conference will face an exercise in tricky coupling that could be like resting a cargo plane on a bicycle. But with the approach of Election Day, by which date many lawmakers want a health-care bill to offer voters, the pressure may rise sufficiently to seal all the points of attachment. "If we don't get this done this year," Mitchell warns, "it will be well into the next century before we do." He shouldn't put it that way.

Such a ploy could have an added bonus: by showing that the Americans are serious...
They will never execute O.J. Simpson. They will never strap O.J. down in the gas chamber, seal the door, and drop the poison pellets (California's chosen method). Even putting it in these terms proves the point. It is unimaginable. We will not allow it -- "we" being the same American citizenry that supports capital punishment by a wide margin in every poll, the same citizenry to which politicians promise ever more executions for an ever greater variety of crimes...
