...list created by U.S. authorities, which singles out passengers who are potential terrorist threats, is the target of frequent criticism that it's incomplete and unreliable. But that hasn't stopped it from expanding dramatically. Aviation sources say the list has grown to more than 31,000, up from 19,000 last September. And a little noticed incident on April 8, involving a Dutch KLM 747 flight from Amsterdam to Mexico City, may result in the list being used even more aggressively. The plane was forbidden by American authorities to enter U.S. airspace because the Department of Homeland Security discovered...
Even the most optimistic reckoning put the 1986 deficit at more than $ 170 billion, less than the anticipated $200 billion but a long way from Congress's original target of $100 billion or less by 1988. "We really haven't reduced the deficit all that much," said Dole on NBC's Today show. "It's a small step forward. It's not a big step." Complained Florida's Lawton Chiles, ranking Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee: "Our problem is not the budget process. It's the absence of will."

...outlaw Montana that I moved to 15 years ago and that my Eastern friends had apprehensions about--many of them quickly dismissed once they visited and fired a few rounds from the target pistols I own or took a pickup down to a local bar with a poker table in its back room--is setting like the evening sun. Ragged former cow towns like Bozeman are turning into suburbanized high-tech meccas for Ph.D.s who like to go rafting and snowboarding. These immigrants have brought with them an exotic culture of dining spots that feature formal wine lists, bookstores that...
...imagine. One Vatican source told me this week that some colleagues were laughing about the piece when it came out, thinking Ratzinger was long since out of the running because he'd been branded as a doctrinal hardliner and unpleasant bureaucrat. But in fact, my sources were on target. Still, to go from frontrunner to Pope required that Ratzinger demonstrated that he was indeed a many-sided man, but always a holy one. "He took it to another level," was how one Vatican official put it. While I salute Jordan and Marguerite, who brought TIME's coverage in Rome...
