...sending out--or devolving--welfare programs to the states, Gingrich raises the prospect of more experimentation and innovation with a system that has not proved its value to date. But by capping the amount of money Washington is willing to send to the states and by putting limits on the number of years a welfare recipient can draw payments, the G.O.P. is testing the theory that if the poor know they are not automatically getting payments, they will lift themselves out of poverty. Democrats warn that, with caps and limits, the poor will be devastated. Counters Besharov...

The images in the Chauvet cave date from 30,000 years ago, 12 to 18 millenniums before comparable ones at Lascaux, in France, and Altamira, in Spain, and much earlier than anyone thought possible for such realistic portraits...

Ormond is no Audrey Hepburn, but Hepburn was sui generis, and Ormond does have a shy charm all her own. And there is a wastrely weakness about Kinnear's good looks that suits David more neatly than Holden's square-cut handsomeness...
