Congress for Lifeby John Armor For our first 125 years, about 35 percent of the members of the House retired before every election, because they believed that was good for them and good for the nation.

Global Transformationby Jerry Levinson Everything seems to be changing! What is new is that now, at the beginning of this millennium, the whole planet is in therapy.
