...absurdly small figure of 5,000, while P.L.O. officials have said they would wave in the whole 800,000. That would increase the Palestinian population in the territories by one-third and bring in many individuals deemed security risks by Israel. In reality, both sides recognize that the main constraint on the number of returnees is economic: the West Bank and Gaza Strip are impoverished and cannot afford to absorb a gigantic influx of newcomers. During the secret negotiations in Oslo, both sides informally batted around the figure of 200,000 returnees...
...choice is meaningless without the means to choose. Only 13 states voluntarily fund abortions for those who can't afford them; the poor elsewhere are looking to Clinton to save them from the back alley. But Clinton's options are limited by the Hyde Amendment, the 16-year- old constraint on the use of federal funds to finance abortions authored by Illinois Representative Henry Hyde.

Architectural movements since then -- notably postmodernism -- have been purely superficial, decorative responses to that style. "That's why this movement is so exciting...
Clinton's evolving concern with America's deficit should be similarly welcomed. A Democratic President who forgoes his party's traditional obsession with policies that redistribute the wealth in favor of programs that address the economy's most severe constraint should be applauded. And whether or not any of the rest of his "New Democrat" agenda becomes law, if Clinton substantially reduces the debt he will be widely hailed. So Clinton is right to back off his plan for a middle-class tax cut and right again to "revisit" the proposal to increase gasoline taxes, regressive levies he routinely dismissed...
