...cuts in the top marginal rate. But he broadens it by slicing rates for the working class too and jabs McCain for caring more about paying down the debt than providing relief to a single mother earning $25,000 a year. While Bush is positioning himself to McCain's right, he still ignored a major, long-standing G.O.P. priority: his plan leaves capital-gains-tax rates untouched. And all through his speeches and policy positions are signals that he is the kind of Republican who cares about "those who live on the outskirts of poverty" and vows to "leave...

Last March a Hawk on a simulated mission surprised its manned F-16 chase plane by rolling onto its back...
...Florida family to the Immigration and Naturalization Service ruling that the boy should be returned to the custody of his father. The INS Friday rejected a second application for asylum on Elian's behalf, on the grounds that only Juan Gonzalez is his legal guardian and has the sole right to speak for the child. Still, that's not going to stop the Florida Gonzalez family, the Cuban-American activist community and conservative Republican lawmakers from fighting tooth and nail to keep the boy here. And that could create a difficult political choice for the Clinton administration. Less...
