Democratic Governor Cecil Andrus did not say whether he would sign the bill, but he has been strongly antiabortion. The bill is designed to give the Supreme Court an opportunity to strike down Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that legalized abortions. The National Right to Life Committee helped draft the measure in an attempt to sway Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. She has said she would accept restrictions on abortion provided they were not "unduly burdensome" on women...
Williams says he wants to be Governor because his son Clayton Wade had a marijuana problem when he was 15. After the boy was expelled from high school in 1986, Williams and his wife Modesta saw him through a 14-month rehabilitation program. "Help me rid us of this plague," he implores audiences. "Help me get the drug dealers out of the school yards." He wants to create a work camp in the West Texas desert where youthful drug offenders would get a chance to reform without obtaining a police record. He suggests doubling the number of state narcotics agents...
Cases that tell people how to live their private lives arouse passionate controversy and are correspondingly difficult to settle, as the court found after its landmark 1973 Roe v.

Second, a figure that size helps silence those who scoff at the boss as the 'education President.' Think of it as a pre-emptive strike that deflects attention from an overall education budget that won't even keep...
...hard for any President to get his program going in the face of heavy political opposition. It's triply difficult -- not to mention confusing -- when that opposition consists of three disgruntled political parties. The solution for South Korea's President Roh Tae Woo was to wade in and woo. Last week Roh stunned the nation by announcing that two of the three Kims who control the competition will join him in a ruling coalition he describes as "middle-of-the-road democrats...
