Visit the main level of this site for more.
How To Save Social Security - Brookings research links relating to Clinton's budget proposal for Social Security for FY 2000.

PointCast - A new wave is out there on the Web, and it's called "push" technology. That means the information is being pushed at you rather than having you click on it to request it, or "pull" it. It's sort of like television broadcasting, except you tell them what shows you want to watch. One of the cool uses of this is customized news, including weather and sports scores. You select the types of stories you want to read and the news resources you want to have checked. You can choose to have new information pushed to you every few minutes, every hour, or every day. You can even have floating news stories or weather maps as your screen saver! You can download software to try one version of it here, but ask your parents before installing it to make sure you have the right hardware.
RealGuide - News - Parental advisory: Please preview this site. Now hear this! The news, that is. Yep, this site's for people who'd rather listen to the news than read it. You're going to want to grab your own version of the Real Audio player (it's free, courtesy of Real Networks) once you check out all the cool stuff you can hear. The Real Audio player software enables users to access Real Audio programming and play it back in an on-demand audio stream, which means you don't have to download those gigantic files first, which gets a little boring. Not to be missed is the news from French, Italian, and Japanese public broadcast networks (not to mention National Public Radio), political speeches from C-SPAN, the evening news from ABC World News Tonight, and lots more.

This may include links to your local TV station's and newspaper's Web sites, local team scores, movie listings, special event calendars, weather, and lots more.
