...British patriot, first and foremost") will prove to be a much tougher proposition to Chancellor Kohl and President Chirac than the volatile and spineless Major. I said to Blair not long ago, "It may be your historic role to take Britain away from the European federation and towards a mere free-trade relationship." He replied, "I believe you may well be right...
...disease. But the fact remains that in a number of cases these treatments appear to work. For many in mainstream medicine, of course, such a cause-and-effect disconnect sounds like nothing more than an elaborate placebo effect, a sort of self-fulfilling medical prophecy, in which the mere act of having faith in a cure actually leads to one.

How we eventually answer these questions will affect everything from the first Census forms of the 21st century, which will be issued a mere three years from now, to university admissions policies to the way civil rights laws are enforced. Even more important, it may ultimately transform the way Americans identify themselves and the tribe or tribes they belong to.
