...paid, hey man, I paid, you saw me pay, didn't you?" the boy appealed to his younger friend. "Man, you're just doing this 'cause we're Black. This isn't fair." His companion smiled charmingly at the ticket seller and said in a tone, perhaps meant to remind her of her own son, "Aw com'on, it's hot. Our mother wants us home. Don't make us walk."

...haggles in a smoke-choked committee room, and to be besieged mercilessly by hordes of lobbyists afterward. But the upside is irresistible: an opportunity to make history by deciding the details of a bill that will touch the wallet of just about every citizen. And so the most coveted ticket in Washington has become a seat on the House-Senate conference committee that will meet, probably the week of July 14, to put in final shape a radical overhaul of federal tax law. With billions riding even on technical provisions, says Norman Ornstein, an expert on Congress at the American...
