tremism.For all its flaws, the election we have undertaken got a lot of the country's business effectively accomplished.

That puts a premium on our incoming legislators to put country ahead of party. We need a president who will extend the healing hand of bipartisanship.

He has taken part in protests against the new law and is active in a lobby for political refugees. Germany should take responsibility as a civilized country, he says.Life in the West is not simple and the living is not easy. Moreover, Washington policymakers who think a pair of wingtips qualifies as recreational wear are illequipped to make decisions about the rugged landscapes of the Rocky Mountain West.Such is the longstanding complaint of Western lawmakers. Now, though, four congressmen from the region are mounting an unusual campaign to sway thinking on Capitol Hill: an educational tour of the West for their colleagues.The junket is these lawmakers' answer to lobbies formed by other regions of the US, which have wielded greater influence on the Hill in recent years.

Since 1970 the percentage of households containing five or more people has fallen by half.Meanwhile, the number of single and twoperson households has soared. One demographic group that has increased particularly fast: single women between the age of 30 and 35.Thus, as the Economist magazine has pointed out, the movie that might best represent this era is Bridget Jones, depicting a famously single and young (well, youngish) heroine.

He's referring to the renewed amnesty talks between President Bush and Mexican President Vicente Fox planned tomorrow in Monterrey, Mexico. He believes anticipation of amnesty is motivating illegal immigrants to use whatever means they can to establish residency.Mr. Camarota's research has shown that illegal immigrants actually use more in social services than they make up for in taxes. That's because their education level and immigration status result in very low wages that aren't taxed heavily to begin with.The question, he says, ... is how do we reduce illegal immigration. Not ho
