...escape it all. Kids squeal as they ride high on the Ferris wheel at the Luna Park fun fair, while their parents chat and stroll. At 10 a.m., boats blaring disco music ply the filthy Tigris River; for a few hours, Iraq's youth can try to forget their current misery and fearful future as they rock to the beat...

And while the G-men were singing like canaries, the senators were having a, er, whale of a time overturning some other sacred cows, like the FDA and the McCain-Feingold bill. The House had some trouble keeping NASA in check ? David Wolf, that dirty rat that actually wanted to go to the Mir, slipped through Rep. James F.
