Bush's tax cut faces a long road through Congress, and of course part of the argument he used during the campaign - back when everybody worried that it would overstimulate a red-hot economy - was that the cuts would be phased in so gradually that no one would notice...
...then there's knowledge. Since she was a little girl, Marion Jones knew, just knew, that she was not only fast--she could outrun any boy in her neighborhood--but important. Watching Charles and Diana's wedding on TV, she asked her mother why no one ever rolled out red carpets for her.
