...antigovernment movement has branched out,? said Mark Potok, the report?s editor. ?Not everyone is a white supremacist. It has a much broader base of support than a few years ago... plots and conspiracies have grown rather dramatically.? Luckily, most conspirators get caught before their plans come to fruition. Banks are an easier target. The Aryan Republican Army managed to rob 22 of them to finance their activities. As Potok says, ?Creating a second American revolution costs money.? Then again, plotting to bomb an IRS building is one heck of a way to land yourself an audit...
...movie proceeds, taking time to linger with complex subsidiary characters, letting us absorb the detailed richness of its imagery, contextualizing its story in a broader social history (unlike most movies, it is aware of working-class unrest and Marxist attempts to organize it early in this century), two withering ironies are drawn.

If we are to create an effective, compassionate and just system with which to deal with sexual violence of all kinds, then the broader implications and manifestations of physical violence must be addressed...
...color back to [U.S.] living rooms...[H]ome was never like this, and the President's aides were convinced that the accolades abroad would strengthen Nixon's hand in his battle to stave off impeachment. The hegira to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Israel and Jordan had, of course, far broader purposes. It constituted not only what some Nixon critics scorned as "impeachment diplomacy" but also sound foreign policy. His trip, said Nixon, was "another journey for peace," like his earlier trips to Moscow and Peking...[After all, trust in the Mideast still rests] largely in the power...
