...entered Radcliffe in the middle of World War II and graduated after the end of the war. We believed that the newly-formed United Nations and the annihilating power of the nuclear bomb would guarantee an end to war forever. Our loved ones who had survived the war were returning home. It was a time of boundless optimism...
While Clinton's decision to sign the waiver reduced the likelihood of criminal prosecution for Loral, such prosecutions have been extremely rare. Teledyne paid a $13 million fine after pleading guilty to shipping cluster-bomb material to Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war, but that was an exceptional case.

Gingrich must also deliver on the Dobsonesque agenda that he once put on the back burner and embrace anti-gay, antiabortion, pro-gun candidates. Dobson, with more adherents than Ralph Reed or Pat Robertson, wants respect, and he wants it yesterday...
