...destroy. Despite what they have stolen from Lebanon, destroyed in Lebanon, siphoned off from Lebanon, the Lebanese pound is still stronger than the Syrian pound, and they can't stand it. Let me tell you, others may try to eat Lebanon, but they will never be able to digest it. You can't govern Lebanon as a dictator. It just won't work...
...into the denim egalitarianism of the time. It never could, of course. It just changed form; and the Revolution, while it lasted, enforced its own snobberies, its own political and even psychic pretensions. Today, snobbery is back in more familiar channels. A generation of high-gloss magazines (Connoisseur, Architectural Digest, House and Garden, for example) flourishes by telling Americans what the right look is.

...success is a classic of neoconservative activism: adroitly gathering synergistic boosts from like-minded groups and individuals, the institute has prepared a number of hard-hitting research reports. Rather than submitting them to obscure academic journals, it has sought the interest of media outlets like Reader's Digest and CBS's 60 Minutes to give its conclusions mass exposure...
