...self-restraint. But CBS, NBC and ABC rightly noted that there exists little if any evidence to suggest that early projections after voter turnout. That said, at least two networks went out of their way on Tuesday to appear cautious and to show what a grateful Colorado Congressman Timothy Wirth termed a "respect for the electoral process...
Newspapers generally lag behind the networks in one area: breaking stories. And it's hard to expect the networks not to relish their moment as leaders of the pack. Moreover, it's not the networks' job to guard or build a respect for the electoral process. Let Timothy Wirth turn off his television set. Let those who like to know the news as soon as possible tune in. One possible compromise has been mentioned: close polls across the country at the same time, regardless of time zone differences.

Gurus abound in the likes of Robert Reich, I ester Thurow, and Charles Peters--and there are plenty of politicians who have been ready and willing to take up the "new ideas" cudgel: Sen. Gary W.

And there are, of course, the requisite buzzwords: industrial policy, human capital and military reform are the current faces...

Others of this breed seem more sensible, a Tsongas or a Sen. Bill Bradley (D-N.J.). Rothenberg writes of the way similar rhetoric characterizes the neoliberals. That's well enough, but behind this rhetoric there is a distinct lack of the coalition-building and bridge-crossing that makes...
