...life sentence has evidently given JONATHAN JAY POLLARD, who pleaded guilty in 1986 to selling U.S. secrets to Israel, plenty of time to ponder his deeds. "Dear Mom and Dad," he wrote in a lawyerly burst of remorse, "I regret the adverse effect which my actions had on the U.S. and the Jewish community . . .

Fragmented by an intraparty civil war that began in the 1960s, Democrats misconstrued voter complaints about crime as racism and mistook the tax revolt of the 1970s for selfishness.
