...case, the quality of intelligence really isn't the issue--any high school student who watches the news could tell you that Lebanon is a dangerous place. The real issue is the lack of interdepartmental coordination, inattention to security detail, and general absence of common sense revealed by the most recent attack. Couldn't just a few good Marines armed with some sort of anti-tank weapon have prevented the suicide car from getting anywhere near the embassy...
...producing dozens of illustrations that have run inside the magazine, he has drawn five cover portraits, including his famous depiction of President Lyndon Johnson as a beset King Lear for TIME'S 1967 Man of the Year issue.

The Tory leader planned to closet himself with his aides in Ottawa to pick a Cabinet and prepare his party's address for the opening of Parliament. The speech is expected to outline, in greater detail than Mulroney did on the campaign trail, the Tory vision for Canada. If his race and his past are any guide, the new Prime Minister will describe a society that is tolerant in its vast diversity, compassionate toward its less fortunate members and, of course, more prosperous than...
