Yesterday's announcement of an increase in financial aid means students will now spend fewer hours at their work study jobs or finally be able to take that unpaid summer internship...
...coincidence that the source of Clinton's greatest political triumph as President may also be the cause of his undoing. Clinton and Lewinsky started their flirtation during the famous government shutdown of 1995. As much of the permanent White House staff was forced to stay home, many of the unpaid White House interns assumed their responsibilities...
...experts believe the nukes are under tight control so far, yet there are doubters. While it's unlikely that a military commander would see any benefit in launching one, there are other possibilities. A rogue general might try some nuclear blackmail for a big payoff.

...finally said no. Russia now must figure out how to collect taxes more aggressively from corporations, banks and individuals. The government cannot survive by taking in less revenue than it expects and trying to balance the budget by slashing spending.

But the shrunken 1998 budget still requires $48 million. At the moment, the Denver headquarters is receiving $1.7 million a month for basic operations from donations and sales of books and souvenirs. Besides that, P.K. needs nearly $1 million for each of its splashy stadium rallies. The plan is to make them self-supporting through free-will offerings...
