...expansive notion of having every vote count. If that's true, then there's a violation of Article II of the Constitution. At the end of the day, Tribe told members of his team that he was surprised by the prevalence of that line of questioning, which could spell doom for the Vice President. Another bad sign: Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, a Reagan appointee who often provides the swing vote in 5-4 cases, also scrutinized Tribe closely--and rescued a stammering Olson at one point with a softball query.

FOOD FLIGHT The prospect of rubbery chicken and overdone pasta is enough to make frequent flyers want to grab a bite before getting on a plane. Now research shows that a snack and drink (nonalcoholic) an hour before flying reduces the odds of a heart attack or fainting spell while on board. Don't overdo it with a heavy meal, but nourishment increases blood flow, which in turn delivers more oxygen to the body's organs--including the brain and probably the heart...
