...when Reagan swept into Washington, his appointments gave bureaucratic access to a different league of players: "movement conservatives," who had a specific and radical agenda in mind. "The conservative elite," says Sidney Blumenthal, author of the forthcoming book The Rise of the Counter- Establishment, "sees itself as a counter to the liberal establishment, which includes not only liberals but traditional Republicans. Institution by institution, the conservatives have built up an infrastructure in the shadow of the liberal establishment, to combat and finally to overthrow it. The think tanks are obviously an important part of the movement." Blumenthal calls the growth...
...concentrated on trying to find someone who is not a Rwandan." Others questioned whether, if he was really implicated, McGuire would have remained at the camp for seven months and whether he could have expected to gain very much by stealing scientific data to which he already had access. And besides, they argued, McGuire had been in Rwanda just five months at the time of Fossey's death, knew only a few words of French and Swahili, and would have had to converse with his "co- conspirators" in sign language...

In many cases, access fees have jumped from about 10% of long-distance retailer revenues two years ago to more than 50% today. Moreover...

Nor, perhaps, was that the only roof over his head. He appears to have had access to a rent-controlled apartment on Manhattan's Columbus Avenue, a thoroughfare that has become a yuppie mecca. Mauri has claimed that the apartment belongs to his estranged wife, but neighbors say he has also lived there for at least ten years...
