Rifts on the right are nothing new. Before he became a campaign-trail phenomenon, Buchanan was just a standard 1950s-style conservative who believed in isolationism, protectionism and white people. The ideology he was steeped in as a child -- some call it "paleoconservatism" -- was overtaken during the 1960s and '70s by a more interventionist, internationalist group contaminated by heresies like civil rights and support for Israel. These variations annoyed Buchanan, who for months before the race likened neoconservatives to "fleas who conclude they are steering the dog."

...Carvey. The program has had moments of great theater, from Tiny Tim's wedding to Miss Vicki to Michael Landon's poignant last appearance to discuss his terminal cancer. But mostly the show has succeeded because of its cozy familiarity. Critic Kenneth Tynan once suggested that during the turbulent 1960s, Carson may have become "the nation's chosen joker because, in Madison Avenue terms, he was guaranteed to relieve nervous strain and anxiety more swiftly and safely (ask your doctor) than any competing brand of wag."

The Great Helmsman staged nude water ballets in his swimming pool. "Art ensembles" and "dancing partners" were standing by wherever he went. One of Mao's doctors referred to him bluntly as "a sex maniac...
...late 1960s, at a point when he was furious with those who had thwarted his White House ambitions, Nelson Rockefeller told a group of conservative Republicans, "I'm a hawk on foreign policy, I'm a conservative on the economy, and I'm a dove on social matters. You've got two-thirds of me. What more do you want?" Their answer, of course, was "everything," which Rocky wouldn't, or couldn't, deliver...
