President Bill Clinton begins with education in detailing his blueprints for the bridge to the 21st century. His plan for education focuses on tax breaks for college tuition and literacy for America's children. Unfortunately, the highlight of his record only amounts to a Department of Education flyer introducing school uniforms. To frame his proposals, Clinton invokes the education panacea, otherwise known as the information superhighway...
...only baggage tying down American education was the weighty price of college tuition, then the President's tax cuts will do the trick. He wants to provide $1,500 per year for two years of post-high-school education and a $10,000 tax credit for college tuition.

Weld cut benefits to the poor, hiked tuition rates at state universities and passed an austere welfare-reform plan a year before Congress caught up. All but two of his tax cuts have benefited businesses rather than individuals, and his decision to accept money from political-action committees looks all the worse since Kerry turns down those contributions. It doesn't hurt that Weld courts confrontation with the national Republican Party...
