Rather than calling for a "consensus," Albright seems to think everyone should come over to her view on the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. She stated, "We must put aside partisan distractions and work together now." Partisanship is not an intrinsically bad thing. There are two major political parties because people have legitimate differences of opinion. Within those differences, we ought to work for compromise. But it is hard to compromise when Albright writes that serious leaders in both parties should take her position. Her Viewpoint reflects what is wrong in the current partisan bickering. Instead of finding a middle...
Actress and comic Janeane Garofalo describes David Lindsay-Abaire's work as "cleverly odd." That seems an understatement for his hit off-Broadway farce, Fuddy Meers. Its characters include a housewife whose memory is erased nightly, her jibberish-speaking mother ("fun-house mirrors" becomes in her mouth "fuddy meers"), and an escaped con with a sock puppet on his hand. Just turned 30, the little-known Lindsay-Abaire has suddenly been discovered. He's been commissioned to write a play for Garofalo, and 20th Century Fox has given him a five-year film-and-TV contract. First up: Road...

...America, sits stuck in his In box. The topic is one that Clinton cares deeply about and is supremely qualified to examine. Tentatively titled Out of Many, One, the book aims to offer the President's personal vision of future racial and economic justice, and a kind of work plan on how to get there. "The good news is, he really cares enough about it to want to own it," says one of the ghostwriters, Harvard professor Christopher Edley Jr. But that, he adds, is also "the bad news...
...wrong. I don't think organizing medical students necessarily means better medical care. But neither does asking doctors in training to work 36 consecutive hours without a break. If nothing else, a resident's union can give interns a stronger voice to negotiate more humane work schedules and can force hospitals to the bargaining table. How the negotiations unfold could have an impact on the quality of medical care for all Americans...
