President Clinton urges funding for schools over tax cuts
President Clinton, returning from a holiday break, urged Congress not to sacrifice education spending for tax cuts. He advocated a $60 billion middle class tax break while protecting school funding, pressed lawmakers to adapt to the challenge, and spoke with first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton beside him. The White House strategy targets portraying GOP tax cuts as costly to middle-class programs. Clinton answered questions from children and avoided discussing Republicans, noting criticism can be endured.

Hope Diamond Moves to New Display at Smithsonian
Smithsonian curators quietly moved the Hope Diamond from its vault to a brighter second floor rotunda display for two years during gem hall renovations. The 44.5 carat blue cushion cut stone rests on a wire stand behind thick glass, with a new steel vault and better lighting. Curator Jeffrey Post notes the move preserves public access and enhances viewing, while guards and media observed the pre dawn transfer.
