...plan is certainly an aggressive specimen of free-market Republicanism and a stirring tribute to the twin ghosts of Keynes and Reaganomics. Deficits? If they even matter (which die-hards still won't admit), just tell Congress to spend a little less, if you're so worried, and private-sector growth - the increasing pie - will take care of the rest. Skewed to the rich? Well, they pay the most taxes anyway. At least it wasn't big corporations...
...higher priority - and that left untended, it could jeopardize his broader goals in the region. But Administration hawks countered that installing a more pliant regime in Baghdad would dramatically change the region's political climate, and actually facilitate a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Sunday's twin suicide bombings that killed 22 people in Tel Aviv even as the U.S. moved to complete preparations for an Iraq invasion is a stark reminder that both hypotheses may soon be tested...
Nobody embodied the mainstream-niche schism better than Bruce Springsteen and Eminem. (They also showed that mainstream and niche are about sensibility, not sales. Eminem's CD actually moved 5.5 million more copies than Springsteen's, according to SoundScan.) The typical victim in the Twin Towers was a man under 50, from New Jersey or New York, blue collar or not many generations removed from it--in other words, Springsteen's born subject matter. With 2002's tribute album The Rising, Springsteen became the mainstream's Maya Angelou of 9/11: the event's unofficial poet laureate, the articulator...
...been "a little disillusioned," says her friend Jane David. And she has had some reason to be. When Rowley walked into her office on the morning of Sept. 11 and saw the Twin Towers burning on TV, she immediately thought of Moussaoui. For three weeks her office had been trying--and failing--to get FBI headquarters to allow a request for a search warrant of his computer. Agents had had him arrested for overstaying his visa while they looked into his past. As Rowley wrote in her memo, French officials and other intelligence sources established that Moussaoui was affiliated with...
...could laugh about the CEOs in handcuffs and the stock analysts who turned out to be fishier than storefront palm readers, but after a while the laughs came hard. Martha Stewart was dented and scuffed. Tyco was looted by its own executives. Enron and WorldCom turned out to be Twin Towers of false promises. They fell. Their stockholders and employees went down with them. So did a large measure of public faith in big corporations. Each new offense seemed to make the same point: with communism vanquished, capitalism was left with no real enemies but its own worst impulses...
