...will. If you take that into account, you can do something about it." Doing something about it, according to the NAS, means creating some sort of federal regulatory agency, a kind of FAA for the practice of medicine. The academy carries significant weight on the Hill, and should expect White House support as well since the proposals mirror portions of President Clinton's proposed Patients' Bill of Rights. Which means the feds could soon be making sure that "First do no harm" is more than just a physician's motto...
Bush's TV ads, which have begun airing in New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina, showcase McKinnon's fondness for retro black-and-white footage and jittery, MTV-style editing. McKinnon took an unconventional path to his current job: as a teenager, he ran away to Nashville, Tenn., with dreams of becoming a country-music star; he wrote songs under Kris Kristofferson's tutelage and almost had one of his numbers recorded by Elvis Presley.

A revamped Santa's Workshop is riotously colorful. Santa couldn't ask for an escort with more dash than the Rockette reindeer team that prances at the head of his sleigh, and audiences couldn't hope for a more splendiferous Christmas present...
...While the story, true or not, could prove embarrassing for the President, the First Lady has a lot more to lose if this story has legs. "I think the President has shown he's not affected by this stuff too much," says TIME White House correspondent Jay Branegan. "But it could obviously fuel Hillary's opponent in the New York Senate race." Branegan cautions that Rudolph Giuliani will "have to be careful with the Kosovo issue, because voters have shown clearly they're not into negative campaigning this year, and there's a remarkable lack of mudslinging because...
