The article discusses about various political and social developments taking place in the United States. On Super Bowl Sunday "The Washington Post," announced in a front-page article by Ken Ringle that the statistical spike was hokum, and that the "causists" had not proved a connection between domestic violence and football. The Reaganaut strategy was always to run up enormous deficits and then use them as a club to batter the Democrats into submission. Job-saving strategies like shortened workweeks aren't even discussed. U.S. President Bill Clinton's advisers follow the economic policy script developed by Ross Perot, with all of its vices and none of its virtues.
