...selection of "Young at Heart," one of several standards she successfully takes on, is particularly apropos - Williams is not merely young at heart but borderline infantile, and while her baby-talk affectations can verge on the precious, she's a savvy enough singer to pull it off. In the best songs, such as "Gladys and Lucy" and "Junk," the effect is as satisfying and sensual as the scent of lilac on a porch in the summer...
First and foremost, the next president should be willing to spend more money on the students. With the University's endowment having reached the $19 billion mark, it is time for the University to spend more money on undergraduates. Although the next president should be fiscally prudent enough to ensure the University's financial security for the new millenium, there must be room in the budget to increase the amount spent on a per-student basis. Despite the University's outright lead in the amount of the endowment, Harvard trails several other schools in the amount spent per student. This...
...Gore, meanwhile, is the comprehensive policy package for the job. Was that enough Tuesday to take the momentum back in a race that is statistically even but slightly Bush's, at least for now?

Scary ideas, like school vouchers? Leave 'em up to the states. "I'd worry about federalizing education if I were you." Extra money coming in? Don't look at me - you folks take it back. Afraid I'm not up on my specifics? Never mind that - me and Congress'll work...
...almost could not bear to watch the third debate. I suppose that there have been more dispiriting presidential races in the past; I know there have. In fact, the choice last time, in 1996, was unappetizing enough. But something in me this year has snapped. The debate almost had me throwing things at the television. The mere sight and sound of these two men has grown odious; the election has come to seem the dead end of some massive hoax...
