...need to emerge from the shadow of Bill Clinton (who offered Monday that neither plan was as good as his from a few years ago: setting up the individual accounts with money from the current surplus instead of payroll taxes), but he's still running as an incumbent. The status quo, and the current demographics of the voting public, will be Gore's best asset...
...magnet for serious economists - it's one thing that pretty much everybody agrees is a good thing. And for every futurist who screams "Dow 50,000," there are two who wonder if the markets are something to be betting America's retirement on.

And while they'll keep jockeying for position, they're likely to wait for a new U.S. administration before making any new dramatic moves. "Both privately admit they're unlikely to reach agreement this year," says Hamad. "And sources close to Arafat say he's already agreed, at the urging of President Clinton, to postpone his promised unlilateral declaration of a state until after...
