...introduced their wives, he had presented Jack Lira, 24, as "my lover-my partner in life." Lira committed suicide three months ago in a state of depression. In the remarkable tape recording predicting that he might be killed, Milk urged that if it happened, other gays should "turn that anger and frustration and madness into something positive so that hundreds will step forward, so that gay doctors will come out, gay lawyers, gay judges, gay bankers, gay architects. These are my strong requests, knowing that it could happen, hoping it doesn...
...politicians got to work. A lot of them showed up in Cambridge for the dedication of the Kennedy School of Government--although Jimmy Carter and Tip O'Neill were conspicuous by their absence. There was a flash of April anger, as protesters denounced the naming of the school's library after an industrialist who had made his fortune in the South African gold trade.

Devo probably intended all this when they recorded "Satisfaction" this way--but that doesn't make the track any less dull. Alas, this sterile, tuneless shell will...
What neither side ever says is that they cannot afford to anger each other. If the U.S. is dependent on Saudi good will, the Saudis are also inescapably tied to the U.S.-and the dollar. One tie is emotional: so many Saudi officials attended college on the U.S. West Coast that they are often referred to by Americans as "the California Mafia." At a desert feast during Blumenthal's visit last year, one sheikh wearing flowing robes and looking as if he had just returned from a raid on camelback leaned over to a member of the Secretary...
