...clamor from the opposing stands at The Game on Saturday may sound even weaker than usual. Yale officials said this week that the college has cut and will continue to reduce the size of its first-year class...
...nominee is openly hostile to Kyoto, it remains unlikely that Vice President Gore - who led the U.S. team to the negotiations that produced the protocol - would win the requisite 67 Senate votes to ratify the treaty. After all, the treaty requires that in the next decade, the industrialized nations cut their carbon gas outputs to a level 5 percent below the 1990 figures. And for a booming U.S. economy whose output levels continue to increase every year, that would mean an economically burdensome 20-30 percent reduction in coal-fired electricity, gasoline consumption and other burning of fossil fuel.

...arguing which candidate should. As this magazine's TV critic, I always like to see a new generation pay homage to the classics; for instance, that pro-Bush group's "remake" of Daisy, the 1964 Lyndon B. Johnson ad that targeted Barry Goldwater as a dangerous extremist. Both ads cut from a little girl picking petals off a daisy to footage of a nuclear explosion.

...spare, sharp lines, big graphics and crisp edges. John loves Irving Penn, whose work looks clean and sober even when his subject was a New Guinea tribesman caked in ceremonial mud. He loves Robert Mapplethorpe, but without the whips and chains, which means the Mapplethorpe of laser-cut male torsos and tulips that loom before you like stage-lit pachyderms. These pictures were not collected by the inebriated stage floozy we used to know and love. They bear the mark of the studious Sir Elton John, a man buying things in the cold light of the morning after. Even...
