...President's advisers are still debating how aggressively to respond to Daschle. Hard-liners argue that with Bush's approval ratings hovering near 90%, now is the time to push a conservative agenda and dare the Democrats to oppose it. "Unless the President takes on Daschle, we will have paralysis, and voters won't be able to see distinctions," says a House G.O.P. leader. But Bush favors a softer approach: calling for a continuation of post-9/11 unity and bipartisanship, thereby making Daschle seem shrill and churlish. At the same time, Bush knows that his father's apparent blindness...
...firm Exhibitor Relations. There were exceptions, of course; Ocean's Eleven is on track to earn $200 million domestically, thanks largely to neo-Rat Pack stars like George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts. But not one of the year's Top 10 moneymakers featured an A-list star, unless you count Eddie Murphy's voice in the animated Shrek. Are studio execs wising up? "A lot of people in the movie business don't bother to ask, 'Will the audience accept a star in this part?'" notes Stacey Snider, chairman of Universal, who nixed the idea of casting...
...expensive travels and his possession of PETN and TAPT, relatively sophisticated high explosives often used by terrorists, investigators don't rule out a conspiracy. But the current favored theory is that Reid is a lone crackpot--a view that appears to have contributed to a key venue decision. Unless new evidence develops, Reid will be indicted in Boston, where he was arrested after his American Airlines flight made an emergency landing. If Justice Department officials felt he was part of a larger conspiracy, presumably his case would be transferred to the terrorism task force in northern Virginia, which is prosecuting...
Think, Mr. Carswell (wherever you are), think, all of you: Imagine the situation of your grader. (Unless he is of the Wheatstone Bridge-double differential CH3C6H2(NO2)3 set. These people are mere cogs; automata; they simply feel to make sure you have punched the right holes. As they cannot think, they cannot be impressed; they are clods. The only way to beat their system is to cheat.) In the humanities and social sciences, it is well to remember, there is a man (occasionally a woman), a human type filling out your picture postcard. What does he want to read...
...without defining what those standards are. How noble it is to cry gallantly for a “living wage” without ever defining what such a wage would be. It seems so easy to support something called a “living wage,” but unless one has a number based upon principled calculations (which the HCECP was unable to find), then the term “living wage” means nothing...
