...agree more or less with Gore's support of gun control, abortion laws, gay rights, affirmative action or his assertiveness on foreign policy. But on matters affecting the public good--which have relevance for even the most prosperous among us--the differences between the candidates are night...
That night I interviewed him, I reversed Reagan and asked if we'd be better off four years from now. Off the top of a sleepless head, he spoke of even more jobs and health care for every child. And then he said this: "America has a two-part mission. First, to prove that freedom unlocks human potential. Second, to prove that we have the capacity to rise above racial and religious differences and hatreds. The suffering people of the world, when they hope, look to us for a sign of their own potential. I see a future, now near...
...girder sets are drably unmemorable. Instead of the film's catchy '70s hits (Hot Chocolate's You Sexy Thing), we have a new score by David Yazbek, whose lyrics ("cojones" rhymed with "what testosterone is") are marginally better than his generic, '70s-pop-with-a-hint-of-Sondheim music.

But this formula, slowly set in motion by a 1998 federal law, could be difficult to clone nationwide: average per pupil spending for Head Start is slightly more than $5,000, vs. more than $7,000 at the corporate-backed Cone Center.

Space is at such a premium that currently only 54% of eligible poor students can enroll...
...Food Network's gimmicky Iron Chef era, finding a simple cooking program on the channel is becoming as difficult as finding a video on MTV. For that, this high-profile launch is welcome, even if it's as precious and trendy as a truffle-emulsion foam. British superchef/pretty boy Jamie Oliver isn't actually naked--the title refers to his minimalist recipes--but his artfully disheveled, Prada-model looks probably didn't hamper his TV deal. To be fair, this gravy-boat dreamboat is professional and informative. But his languid preening, the jerky handheld camera and the Brit-pop sound...
