...Shultz intended to depict Arafat as a common terrorist, he failed. Arafat emerged from the confrontation with his reputation enhanced -- as something of a martyr to Shultz's intransigence. If the Secretary sought to deny Arafat the kind of prominence that a U.N. visit would bring, he produced the opposite: a publicity bonanza for the chairman.

Her success depends on Great Society programs such as job training to drive home traditional conservative values. "We want to bring families back together, restore our pride and respect," she says. Congressman Jack Kemp, another fan of Gray's who co-sponsored the 1987 legislation, calls tenant management a "synthesis of New Deal programs and conservative thinking."
