Me too - and I actually got to realize this dream on escort duty down to
Albury..... the rail authorities didn't want my prisoner mixing with 'upright
citizens', so we rode in the observation car; dined after everyone else had
left the dining car and were smuggled into the sleeping carriages after every
one else had retired for the night.

I had a similar experience. My father worked in a coalmine and every year
when they had their open days, all the boys were taken down the mines. For
years I spewed over the unfairness of it all. Finally, when I was in my early
teens, they decided to do away with the old superstitions and allow females
into mining areas.... only problem I encountered was that I discovered I was
claustrophobic and couldn't wait to get out of there. Sometimes dreams are
better not realized. :-(

He did.  After he became President.  He just didn't tell anybody.
To be specific:

1)  Alec was kind enough to post the 170 or so new taxes George went
along with.

2) The October 10, 1992 _Economist_, pp. 21-24, is an article called
"America's Parasite Economy."  It includes two charts put together by
the Center for the Study of American Business.

a:  Change in the number of pages in the _Federal Register_ (wherein
you may look up all new regulations).  Nixon (1969-74): 25,000; Ford
(1975-76): 11,000; Carter (1977-80): 30,000; Reagan (1981-88): MINUS
32,000; Bush (1989-91): 12,000.

b:  Total federal regulatory employees: 1980, 120,000; 1988, 105,000
(MINUS 15,000); 1992, 125,000.

Twelve years of Reagan-Bush?  More like eight years of Reagan, and
four years of Nixon with a little more class.

     Named the Cardinal because that is the state bird of Virginia,
     West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, through which the
     train passes.

     Shared dubious distinction:  that both are named after birds?
     Wasn't one of the Chicago-Louisville lines the Hummingbird?

     Pre-Cardinal names:  Just guessing -- was The George Washington one?

Greetings,

Here are excerpts from the 10-14 Wall Street Journal article on the vice-
presidential debate:

"Incharging that Mr. Gore has called on the US to spend $100 billion abroad
annually on environmental programs, Mr. Quayle misquoted Mr. Gore's book
on the environment."

"Admiral Stockdale erred when he said the Perot defense plan was similar to
President Bush's and that the Clinton defense plan would make cuts twice
as deep."

"Mr. Quayle charged that Mr. Gore voted for the Caribbean Basin Initiative...
Mr. Gore said he had voted against it.  Both were partly right.  Mr. Gore
voted against the 1982 legislation that launched the initiative, but
voted for some subsequent bills renewing it."

In general, I consider the Wall Street Journal an impeccable source of
news; is there anyone out there who faults it for its liberal bias?

The quote from the book that appeared on the list--before the addition of the

a test of analytical abilities, and I'm sure you'll see the difference someday.

Also, dan, because automotive fuel efficiency has improved,
poorer people drive older, more guzzling cars.  Furthermore,
because modern manufacturing and data handling do not require
large groups of people working together, offices and factories
don't have to be in central cities, which makes public transport
a bad idea.

	Is that what it is nowadays?  Mine was for 9%, and bank skimmed
about 200 right off the top of it.  Then they renamed it to Stafford
and told me I wasn't eligible for it anymore.  Then the bank lost
track of it, lost my payments, and turned it over to a credit company.
Then I paid the whole thing off in one lump payment so noone would be

No.  I can't "come down" on the side of an issue on incomplete
information.  In 1988 George Bush's ads ripped Dukakis for letting
dangerous criminals loose.  I never saw the Horton ad; I did see the
revolving door ad several times.  Lost in the furor over the "racist"
subtext of the Horton ad was anything resembling a discussion of the
merits of early release.  Perhaps a specialist in criminal justice
can send me and other readers to the sources.
