...Fonte identifies the opposing armies in the war as Gramscians and Tocquevillians. The Gramscians take their name from the 20th-century Marxist intellectual and politician Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937). As Fonte remarks: "Despite [Gramsci's] enormous influence on today's politics, he remains far less well-known to most Americans than does Tocqueville," the prescient young French visitor who figured out America so brilliantly a hundred years before Gramsci's death...
...force in the culture of New Haven, being the third-largest employer behind bail bondsmen and brownfield cleanup. And having little enough to offer in the life of the mind, Yalies have naturally turned to the life of the flesh instead--or, in the case of former Saybrook Master Antonio C. Lasaga, turned to thousands of pictures of naked little boys. Students here may have difficulty understanding such a mentality; at Harvard, the play-acting of a film such as "The Staxxx" would be profoundly unnecessary, what with the easy accessibility of the Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Love Palace, whose...
Some of these, like Vets2Cuba, have political agendas.

His lawyer Roy Barrera Sr. told the Dallas Morning News, "He looked at me and said he did it because he considered [murdering his wife] a challenge...
...escapees are now called the Connally Seven, after the John Connally maximum-security prison 60 miles southeast of San Antonio, Texas, they so brazenly broke out of on Dec. 13. But they might just as well be called the Rivas Gang, to give credit where credit is due. Most law-enforcement officers believe George Rivas, 30, is not only the first among the seven, but also the brains behind the entire operation--smart enough to begin plotting the escape six months in advance and smart enough to ingratiate himself and his trusted companions into the right work duty...
