...been indicating that much of the tax package may be jettisoned for now, to be taken up again next year. If a deal is struck, the remaining question is which side gets the public credit for the tax handouts. To clinch the advantage, the Republicans have added an appealing twist to their family tax-credit plan: it would be retroactive to the last quarter of 1995. Refund checks for one-fourth of the annual amount, $125 a child, would be sent out separately. The mail date would be a few weeks before the next election...

For Lillehammer in '94, G and G returned to the amateur rank, and they were so transcendent that they...
While the faculty may deem a course in Foreign Cultures necessary, it is the student's prerogative to decide whether his or her interests might better be served in a history course, for instance, with a similar yet more engaging twist. Moreover, what purpose is served when Government 10: Public & Private--An Introduction to Political Philosophy, shares more than two-thirds of its reading syllabus with Moral Reasoning 50, but fails to qualify as a valid substitution...
