...drug craze? The answer may lie in a bit of insecurity underlying the nation's current economic prosperity. Sure, housing starts and luxury SUV sales are up, but our economic (not to mention medical) future is less certain. Horror stories abound of seniors whose medical bills exceed their monthly Social Security stipends, capped by this week's news that a study by the advocacy group Families USA has found that the prescription drugs most often used by seniors outpaced the national inflation rate by 50 percent in the past year. Put it all together and you have an issue with...

Does the right of a community to try to protect its children from released sex offenders exceed the offenders' right to privacy? That's the question weighing heavily on the minds of three U.S. district court judges who decided Tuesday to temporarily suspend the enforcement of Megan's Law, the New Jersey neigbor-notification measure named after a young girl who was raped and killed by a released sex offender who lived across the street. The judges, whose decision alarmed proponents of Megan's Law and relieved the lawyers, mainly public defenders, charged with protecting the rights of sexual criminals...

As Gore argued last week, Bush's proposed tax cut is so expensive--between $1.3 trillion and $2.1 trillion over 10 years, depending on whose analysis you believe--that it would exceed the projected surplus, leaving nothing for anything else. Blithely ignoring that problem, Bush proposes a five-year, $5.5 billion spending increase for education, but most of it would go to pay for tax-free Educational Savings Accounts and vouchers to let low-income parents buy after-school programs for their...

...helping the son, isn't the campaign at some level a crusade to redeem the dad, right a big wrong and in the process exceed every expectation--and then some? Ask old Bush hands about how much of this race is about that race, and most dismiss it out of hand, even though nearly all of them will admit to you that's why they are back in the fight. Only two or three will even talk about George W.'s complex motivation, and those who do choose their words carefully. "Look," says a Bush confidant, "somebody once said that...
