...White House last week was whiter than ever, its broad front porch reflecting the brilliant floodlights out into Pennsylvania Avenue: a matron ready to serve her 176th year and shelter the man who will take us into our third century. Across the street, Andrew Jackson bestrode his rearing bronze horse in the center of the pleasant park dedicated to the visionary Frenchman who proved he also could fight: the Marquis de Lafayette. On the fringe of the peaceful scene stood St. John's Church, the small nave once again echoing with the Christmas carols as it has since John...

...bankers, businessmen and city officials has been plotting how New York could operate after a default. TIME'sNew York Bureau Chief Laurence Barrett reports that the committee set six priorities for expenditures. They are, in descending order: 1) police and fire protection and garbage collection, 2) food and shelter for welfare recipients, 3) hospital and emergency medical care for the poor, 4) payment to suppliers of essential goods and services, 5) public schools, and 6) interest on city debt. In short, cops, firemen, garbage collectors and welfare recipients will get paid first, though perhaps less than usual; teachers...
