Kudos to Krauthammer for presenting the novel idea that facts, not propaganda, should be promulgated by the press. Journalists who have no apparent problem sifting the wheat from the chaff on all topics--domestic and international--seem to suffer selective blindness when the subject is the Middle East. Israel is always in the wrong, the Palestinians always right. No matter that Israel is the only country in the region that is a democracy, with a free press, that 30-odd Israeli political parties express every shade of opinion from the far right to the far left, or that no political...
...Sunflower State is currently ruled by an entirely Republican congressional delegation, a tribute to one of the strongest G.O.P. traditions in the land: this top wheat-producing state has not had a Democratic Senator since 1939, and has voted for a Democratic President only once since 1940. But with both Senate seats and three of four House seats open, Kansas is now one of the most volatile states in the Union this election season--and the Democrats have nowhere to go but up. Some pundits even see the possibility of a Democratic congressional delegation from Kansas next year--a prospect...

...renamed Toyota Road. Along the 500-mile stretch of interstate that winds past Georgetown and Princeton on its way from West Virginia to St. Louis, Missouri, the world's No. 3 automaker--after General Motors and Ford--has quietly become America's fastest growing automaker. Amid the rich corn, wheat and soybean fields, Toyota is building a vast industrial empire in the center of America's heartland, with I-64 as the hub for some $8 billion of North American investments. By 2000 Toyota hopes the public will view the company as the fourth member of the Big Three automotive...
Dole has almost always worked with Senator Nancy Kassebaum, especially to assist Kansas industries like wheat growers and small-airplane manufacturers. But Dole broke with his fellow Republican--and endangered the health-care legislation she left last month as her legacy--by looking after the interest of a Dole Inc. supporter, Golden Rule Insurance of Indianapolis. Golden Rule was pushing medical savings accounts, which allow people with high-deductible insurance plans to set up tax-favored savings accounts to use for their health-care expenses. Dole's amendment, which would have cost the Treasury $1.8 billion over seven years...
