QUOTE OF THE DAY
=========================

"If everybody takes their tax cut and spends it at Wal-Mart
or Chrysler -- well, those guys are our customers. And then
maybe our customers would start up the orders they canceled,
and we'd get some benefit from it. I mean, our tax cut
wouldn't be that big, but it does bring out the Republican
in me."

- BARNEY TAYLOR JR., owner of a software company.

OP-ED COLUMNISTS
=========================

By BOB HERBERT: Public Health in Peril

With his home state of Texas an environmental disaster zone,
is it really any wonder that President Bush reneged on his
campaign pledge to seek reductions in carbon dioxide
emissions?

http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/05/opinion/05HERB.html

By WILLIAM SAFIRE: The Politics of Apology

China's reaction to what is so obviously an accident reveals
a standard cold-war Communist mindset and exposes Beijing's
national insecurity.
