...problem is, strategists are at least as harmful as they are helpful. Vice President Al Gore '69 blamed his campaign for his own early misteps, and so hired disgraced former Democratic representative Tony Coehlo to run it. And then, Coehlo hired a consultant, a tabacco company lawyer named Carter Eskew, who hates current Gore consultant Bob Squier. That means that two top Gore advisers are giving each other the silent treatment...
...right about the "sound strategy." And Greenspan knows it, and you get the feeling that eight years ago, the GOP would have known it too. The tax cut is too damn big. It?s supposed to differentiate the Republicans from the Clintoncrats, and it certainly does. The problem is that all those years of rightward, ho! has left Clinton as the fiscal conservative (with a Reagan-appointed Fed chairman on his side) and Republicans as the fiscal profligates. The boomers already got their money in 1981; now that they?ve got leftovers, they want to squirrel some of it away...
...well as confiscating property, under threat of violence, from both Serbs and ethnic Albanians. Commenting on the KLA?s monopolization of power, widely respected Kosovar Albanian newspaper editor Baton Haxhiu told the Times, "Each day it is becoming more dangerous to think and speak independently." Part of the problem is that the United Nations has been able to deploy only 156 of the 3,000 policemen promised by member states. President Clinton joins leaders of NATO countries and Balkan leaders for a summit on reconstruction to be held in Sarajevo, Bosnia, on Friday. They?ll have a lot more...
...hoped the latest advanced photo system cameras would solve my problem. As leery as I am of APS film, whose most obvious distinction is its high price, I'm tempted by the cameras' handy, lightweight designs. Because the cartridge is smaller than 35 mm and the film requires no threading, the cameras can be very compact. They take pictures in three sizes and replace negatives with a single contact sheet that displays thumbnail images of an entire roll at a glance. So I decided to put three brand-new models from Canon, Konica and Minolta to the test...
...these emotionally addled upper-crusters. His own two-year group experience convinced him of the doctor's effectiveness ("I got lucky"), so he doesn't dissect Lathon's new, 20-session process and the doctor's own subsequent need of rehabilitative help. Instead he focuses on the group members. Problem is, they have stories we've already seen on Oprah, the ultimate group forum. And it's hard to feel sorry for these people, with their luxury homes and contact-filled resumes. The successes and failures portrayed here are neither heartwarming nor heartbreaking. This group should have just talked among...
