...Similar scenes are being played out across Europe these days as panicky consumers are abandoning beef in droves and turning to what they consider safer alternatives: pork, poultry, lamb, fish and, increasingly, organic fruits and vegetables. Some adventurous souls are tucking into more exotic fare like ostrich, emu, bison and kangaroo. With certain beef products officially banned and others looked on with growing suspicion, there is a danger that some traditional European dishes, from ossobuco to côte de boeuf, may be headed for extinction. Such fears may well be exaggerated. But one thing seems certain: "mad cow" disease...
...without Clinton around, the protest wattage looks awfully low. Big Bad Bill's grandstanding skills were so formidable that GOP senator Phil Gramm on Thursday was blaming last year's pork-barrel budget on "Democrats working with the President." (Um, Phil, weren't you guys in the majority last year?)

Inside, however, a mostly upscale African-American clientele drinks margaritas or Cognac and dines on $17.95 entrees of blackened pork chops, charbroiled salmon and barbecued ribs. On different nights, the restaurant features live jazz, comedy or karaoke. The restaurant had set aside its plushly decorated VIP room for the Brown party. At one point during the evening, the hostess took an odd telephone call from two women who asked whether...
...Would it? The most obvious problem with any plan involving money "left over" is that Congress, by the time it gets through a year of legislation and the annual late-summer pork grab, hardly ever leaves any money left over (unless putting the current year's spending on next year's books, one of the boondoggles of the post-spending-caps era, counts as saving...
