...Citadel thinks it can solve the problem through Shannon's leaving, they're dead wrong." Don't tell that yet to the cadets. At the first word that Faulkner was going, many of them cheered, honked car horns and took to a checkerboard-patterned quadrangle to perform triumphant push-ups. Maybe it was heat of all kinds that knocked Faulkner out of the Citadel last week. What no one agrees upon is just what kind of heat mattered most...
There are a lot of things McCorvey has done and been that Jane Roe's millions of admirers probably wish she hadn't. Until she unmasked herself publicly in 1989, they could imagine Roe as noble and steadfast, embattled yet triumphant. They didn't envision a former drug addict and dealer; someone so spiritually needy that she ran through religions as if channel surfing; someone testy enough to (in the presence of a Texas Monthly reporter) invite a critic who accused her of killing babies to "bring yours over here and we'll do them...

Thus, as Japan's peace seekers meandered, America's leaders pondered the obstacles to--and expediencies of--victory...
...votes that fell along party lines. The plan includes $245 billion in tax cuts and $894 billion in spending cuts that hit Medicare, Medicaid and social services heavily. Action now moves to the appropriations committees where,TIME's Karen Tumultyreports, "the real work is already being done." The triumphant GOP package, she adds, falls short of promises by Kasich and others to eliminate a spate of federal agencies and offer $300 billion in tax cuts. The current plan would, however, abolish the Commerce Department...
