...rarely caused by a single, catastrophic failure. Rather, it's usually the result of a succession of small failures, each essentially harmless, but building a sort of disastrous momentum until the weight of the accumulated errors brings the plane down. Similarly, there was nothing especially portentous on the final day of Kennedy's life that led, ineluctably, to tragedy. It's only in hindsight that it becomes apparent how the random eddies of those last 24 hours carried Kennedy, his wife and sister-in-law to disaster.

And Paco Rabanne illustrated his prediction that the Mir space station will kill thousands when it crash-lands in Paris in August by showing a metallic satellite dress, center.

The House proposal is uncompromising swordplay -- cut the capital-gains tax and slash income taxes, across the board, by 10 percent. "It?s up to the Republican caucus what they want to do now about a final bill," says Branegan. "If they decide to try to attract some Democratic support, it?ll look more like the Roth plan. If they want to make an ideologically pure statement, it?ll be more like the House version." Clinton insists he doesn?t care what it looks like -- $792 million...
