...himself so that any victory he has contains an element of redemption, not just victory. And he could go on the offensive. Certainly, stories about Dole's Aqua-Leisure contributions by way of Hong Kong are the moral equivalent of Al Gore's dubious, vegetarian fund raiser at the Buddhist temple. The word gotcha isn't glued to the word journalism for nothing. Freddy Kreuger came back enough times; so could the hatchet...
...Chinese Daily News reported that Vice President Al Gore attended an April luncheon and fund raiser at a Buddhist temple in Hacienda Heights, California, an event that offered the unusual (and highly improper) spectacle of a tax-exempt religious institution appearing to endorse a political party.

Visotzky, in his The Genesis of Ethics (Crown), not only honors the moral insights he gained through his conversations but displays a psychologist's (or novelist's) ability to see the patriarchal dramas through the eyes of each participant, seldom condemning and usually illuminating. Panelist Naomi Rosenblatt...

A third foundation, controlled more closely by the Johnson family, has helped everything from Planned Parenthood to the Buddhist Churches of America, the latter reflecting Johnson's interest in Eastern philosophy...
