...read numbered copies of House budget chief John Kasich's blueprint for slicing an astonishing $1.4 trillion from federal spending over the next seven years. The plan would eliminate the departments of Energy, Commerce and Education, cut cost-of-living increases for federal pensioners, slash foreign aid sharply, and zero out Clinton's pet achievement, the national-service program. Even during the retreat, House members were forming "rump groups" to contest specific cuts, particularly the farm subsidies that Kasich has slated for major reductions. The hysteria will mount this week when Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete Domenici makes his plan...
Some 10 bands are also scheduled to appear on two stages. The main stage features G-Love and Special Sauce, Spatula, Swedish Cookie, Fuzzy Navel and Daily Planet.

...current production opens stiffly (as though conversation had to be slower in the 19th century because contractions hadn't yet been invented), the actors soon zero in on their thrillingly cold target.

Reared in an atmosphere of genteel censure, Catherine only gradually surmises that...

But even as he says that, he can't resist kibbitzing. For one thing, Iacocca has wanted for years to make Chrysler a truly international operation with sales and manufacturing capabilities around the world. In the 1980s he tried to enter his company into deals first with Volkswagen, then with Fiat, but to no avail. "We do not have a global presence," he complained last week...
...strike cost the owners an estimated $700 million, the players $250 million and the fans 921 regular-season games, not counting the World Series and other postseason games. Yet the most staggering figure to come out of the strike the players called-and the owners asked for-was zero. That was what both sides accomplished by the work stoppage, which officially ended at 11:59 p.m. on April Fools' Day, when the owners decided to tell their replacement players to stand down. The previous day, the Players Association had scored a major victory when U.S. District Judge Sonia Sotomayor issued...
