Mills does not wear either label. "The only politics I ever knew," he once said, "is to try to do the right thing. I don't know where that puts me." He usually votes for New Frontier bills on the floor of the House. But last year he refused to support the Administration's medicare bill, and he is considerably less casual about budget deficits than the Administration is.

Tittle complained about the cold: "My hands were numb, and the wind was so crazy I couldn...
Countries sometimes wear their troubles more lightly than the statistics or the headlines indicate. In uneasy Argentina. the cost of living is up 58% this year, the peso down 60%. But it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and in Buenos Aires the days are blazing and the nights sticky. The place to get away to is Mar del Plata, Argentina's favorite Atlantic resort, 250 miles south, and last week the annual migration was in full swing...
