...Night is a very strong song, but it is a souvenir of a television show, and we have to get beyond that. It is my feeling that when you get into being a career recording artist, the stakes are different. People want to see if you can stretch and evolve. They want to know if you have some edge...
...down the stretch they come at Baltimore's Pimlico Race Course on a bright Wednesday afternoon. Today the home of the Preakness Stakes and the famous Seabiscuit--War Admiral match race of 1938--perhaps the sport's greatest moment--is host to a $14,500 claiming race, and Robin des Tune, at 13 to 1, leads by three lengths. The chestnut filly gallops past 8,000 empty seats and withstands a late charge by Halo's Gem, the favorite, to seal the win.

But cost cutting hasn't been seriously tackled yet; the 2004 budget holds inflation-adjusted spending level rather than reducing it, which makes getting to a 30% tax cut something of a stretch. That leaves a lot of pain still to be administered and endured. Next year's budget, like this year's and last year's, remains out of line with the 3% deficit limit imposed by the E.U.'s Stability and Growth Pact. Raffarin has dismissed the pact as "mathematics," but smaller states...
