...fact, it began pursuing nuclear arms in earnest after its neighbor and rival, India, exploded a test device in 1974. Pakistan has been producing weapons-grade uranium since 1986. Most analysts have been convinced for several years that the country has had on hand all the components necessary to make bombs. Last year Pakistan tested two new ballistic missiles. Leonard S. Spector, senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, estimates that Pakistan's arsenal could contain up to 10 bombs of about the same yield as those the U.S. dropped on Japan...
...rate) was replaced by a new scheme with only two rates: 15% for low-income taxpayers and 28% for everyone else. But achieving that goal required some juggling. For most joint filers, for instance, income below $32,450 is taxed at the 15% rate. To ensure that those who make more kick in 28% on all their income, the government puts a larger bite on the high end of their earnings.

Says George Butler, the executive producer at Columbia Records who signed both Marsalis and Connick: "Wynton has played a major role in the popularity of this music today. This is probably the most propitious time for this music since...
...were very excited," says Williams. "We all knew he was going to be great." Marsalis knew it too. "He wasn't arrogant; he was just so self-assured," says McCarthy, who was by then studying at Barnard College. "He knew that by meeting the right people he would make it." Sure enough, Blakey asked Marsalis a few months later to join his band...
