...says it right on the bumper sticker: Don't Mess With Texas. As Gore threw rocks from afar, Texas Monthly publisher Michael Levy quickly announced the till-November formation of the Proud of Texas Committee, a small "truth squad" of the state's bright lights worried about their image. "During this campaign, as in many others, I have observed that facts sometimes get bent or broken in reporting on a state as large and varied as Texas," said one member. "We want to keep the information that is disseminated about our state honest from now until...
...Buchanan is a smart and funny man in private, and those with an appreciation for gimmick politics will always have a soft spot for him. On the stump, he's a harder man to tolerate - what with intolerance being practically a bumper sticker for him - and his audience is narrowing. Remember, it was a decided lack of disaffected Republicans that drove Buchanan into Perot's arms in the first place (the numbers for Pat in his perennial GOP primary battles had dwindled to nothing) and in his bid for the Reform mantle Pat has steadfastly refused to broaden his appeal...
...April 18, sheriff's deputies arrested Robert Lee Yates Jr., 47, on his way to work. His Honda Civic carried a bumper sticker saying WHY MUST I BE SURROUNDED BY FRICKIN' IDIOTS? Forensic experts found his fingerprint on one of the plastic bags tied around a victim's head, and Yates' genetic profile, from blood drawn after his arrest, matched semen found on the corpses.

Make a Memory, a 2,600-sq.-ft. store in Alpharetta, Ga., carries 93 kinds of scissors, 2,700 sticker designs (teddy bears and Barbies are popular) and 3,000 types of paper (some featuring holograms and fake fur). The store's clientele is 99% female. "We spend hundreds of dollars on cameras and film. We take the snapshots, rush to the one-hour photo place, get the photos and look through them," owner Tom Sanders, 37, says of those who haven't yet discovered scrapbooking. "Then what do we do? We put them in shoe boxes and never look...
...economists go, German-born Ernest F. ("Fritz") Schumacher was an oddball. He didn't believe in endless growth, mega-companies or unlimited consumption. His 1973 book with the bumper-sticker title Small Is Beautiful became an eco-bible (worldwide sales: 4 million copies). Urging the West not to foist fuel-gulping technologies on poor nations, he instead favored "appropriate" solutions--oxen, say, rather than job-eliminating tractors. In posthumous tribute, even the World Bank now agrees that small-scale aid projects, relying mainly on the people themselves, are indeed beautiful...
