Senate hurdles loom for Bush tax cut plan
Washington moves tax cut debate to the Senate as Republicans push a $350 billion package through 2013 while Democrats seek $150 billion. House approval of a $550 billion bill adds to tensions over dividend tax cuts, capital gains, and state aid amid warnings of rising deficits. President Bush promoted larger cuts in a radio address as lawmakers barter for a final package.

Push to curb deploying mothers to war sparks debate
After the Iraq conflict kills a U S Army single mother and wounds another, conservative activists and some lawmakers push to bar or limit mothers with young children from front line duty. Phyllis Schlafly argues women should not serve in combat roles, while supporters say the all volunteer force performed well and celebrate female service. Pentagon officials note enforcement would be complex given gender equity policies.
