Economic theory and political will, however, don't always go together. The dramatic rise in gasoline prices has caused widespread public anger, as every member of Congress who went home for the Memorial Day break is no doubt aware. Support for lowering energy prices is something that has both broad and deep support in America; it will drive voters to the ballot box. And although Warner-Lieberman, or any future cap-and-trade bill, is unlikely to hike the price of gasoline, it will surely be used as a convenient political scapegoat...

...City should be intense. On Tuesday night, for the film's invitational premiere, swarms of femi-nests buzzed expectantly outside Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall. And when many of the ticket-holders couldn't get into the 6,000-seat Hall because of overbooking, the anger and hurt spilled onto Sixth Avenue, literally stopping traffic. Near the front of the line of rejectees, according to the New York Daily News, were two women from Vancouver, B.C., who had paid $16,000 for the trip to New York (they must have driven here) and were dolled up in designer dresses...
