...drives it where? There are plenty of experts who wonder if turning criminal science into a craze is a good thing. Solving crimes is not nearly so quick and reliable a job as a 46-min. story line would make it seem. Investigations can take months, evidence can get muddled and courts, dubious about all the new gadgetry, are often reluctant to trust it. And that doesn't touch the swamp of constitutional questions raised when a prosecutor tries to wade into a suspect's brain and DNA. "TV has romanticized forensic science," says Susan Narveson, head of the forensics...
...breakfast with Bowles in Raleigh, I wonder if the race is between Stiff and Stiffer. Bowles, 57, who dresses and speaks like the banker he was, stresses Dole's opposition in 1989 to an increase in the minimum wage. In a state chock-full of seniors who didn't make it to Florida, he is scoring points with Social Security, which Dole, like Bush, would privatize, after a fashion.

...told TIME. "We've agreed to them gradually entering this system and obtaining the same funding over time as the rest of us." Most observers think a weakened Dutch government will be less willing and able to take a strongly anti-enlargement position in Brussels. "You've got to wonder whether a caretaker government could hold up a process widely thought to be crucial to the Union's future," says one E.U. diplomat. "But frankly, nobody now knows what the Dutch are going to do." Indeed, the uncertainty in the Hague, which came just days before the Irish referendum...
