...Most bipartisan groups that have recommended moving toward private accounts also call for a minimum guaranteed benefit to ensure that more seniors do not fall into poverty. Bush vows to preserve the existing safety net for survivors and disabled workers, but so far, he does not guarantee a high enough safety net for poorer workers or for those who do not fare well in the stock market...
...slender boy with large brown eyes, who has been diagnosed with depression and attention-deficit disorder, should be under regular care by a doctor. The Haros family income, which rests on the mother's $5.35-an-hour job at a local candy plant, is low enough to qualify him for Medicaid. But for reasons all too common in Bush's state, Ray receives nothing from the federal and state insurer of the poor. Like 734,000 other uninsured Texas youngsters who live in poverty, he relies on the uncertain charity of free clinics and social workers who scrounge for medicine...
...delay freed Texas from having to spend billions of dollars in matching state grants, leaving enough money for Bush to pass $1 billion in tax relief in the 1997 legislative session.

That is 13 points lower than Bush. The question, Is it high enough to win? It is if voters have come to think that honesty is an optional quality in a President, if after living through the Clinton presidency they are not looking to fall in love...
...more burning. Cleared land releases less water to the skies than forest does, while smoke inhibits rainfall by saturating the air with vast numbers of tiny particles, each of which can become the basis of a water droplet. But the droplets remain tiny, and do not become heavy enough to fall to the ground, according to a study by David Rosenfeld at Israel?s Jerusalem University. Instead, they stay in the sky, in effect as sterile clouds. This enhances the prospects of more fire, more smoke and even less rainfall...
