...characterized by forced intimacy, with little or no privacy." One can forgive the historically inappropriate reference to the Spartans - fierce warriors whose loyalty to one another in no way excluded sexual relationships, and indeed may have encouraged them. But the specter of "forced intimacy" recalled the worst kind of anti-gay bigotry: the notion that gays can't control themselves or respect sexual privacy. Nunn himself led reporters and colleagues on an infamous "field hearing" into the sleeping quarters and showers of ships and submarines in May 1993. It was demeaning and schoolboyishly prurient, but as icky demagoguery, the stunt...
...picked up by Moscow newspapers. Meanwhile, the President-elect set about the difficult task of trying to heal campaign wounds before his inauguration on July 8. In his first postelection press conference, Waldheim, 67, declared, ''The horror of the Holocaust must not be forgotten,'' and pledged to fight anti-Semitism. That same day, his wife Elisabeth confirmed that she had once been a Nazi. The defeated Socialist Party had its own set of problems. Although the Austrian presidency is a largely ceremonial post, and real power rests with the Chancellor and his Cabinet, Waldheim's victory was a rebuke...
...groups ''un-American,'' and once remarked that he had thought Ku Klux Klan members were ''O.K.'' until he found out they smoked pot. Sessions protests that he was ''caricatured'' unfairly by his opponents. ''It's rough on Capitol Hill right now,'' he says. ''Some good people are getting hurt.'' Anti-Reagan forces mean to get still rougher. And Manion is the next target. Last month a last-ditch Republican effort narrowly succeeded in getting his nomination released by the judiciary committee ''without a recommendation.'' The committee, however, is preparing a report on Manion's qualifications, a common practice only...
...rejects evolution, or, as he calls it, ''monkey-monology.'' Because the annual meeting's business is done in town-meeting style, the strategy for winning S.B.C. presidential elections is getting the right voters to travel to the meeting site. The Georgia gathering figured to be the anti- Fundamentalists' last and best hope, since moderate Southern Baptists are concentrated in the coastal region between Washington and Atlanta. But Rogers won 54.2% of the vote, not too surprising in light of a poll issued by anti- Fundamentalists revealing that 88% of Southern Baptists in ten states agreed that ''the Bible...
...House voted against him. This time around, as Reagan takes another crack at winning approval for his package, he has adopted a more low-key approach, tending to rally support behind closed doors. Yet already the public charges, by both friends and foes of the anti-Sandinista rebels, are beginning to fly. Instead of speechmaking about Marxists marching across the Texas border, CIA Director William Casey told members of Congress last week of U.S. intelligence reports revealing that a Soviet An-30 reconnaissance plane had recently flown at least four missions over Nicaragua. The Administration speculated that the aircraft might...
