...family reunion with their inner selves. The dramatic set piece is an exercise that Bradshaw has recently started to call a collective grief ritual. "Now if any of you have a stuffed animal, you may want to hold it," he advises listeners just before the lights in the auditorium dim and a schmaltzy recording of Sibelius' Going Home begins its familiar strains. Many of his followers -- casually dressed, of all ages -- clutch teddy bears or plush puppies as Bradshaw's hypnotic voice rises above the music, instructing them to close their eyes and return to their childhood family home...

It was Al Haig, Nixon's chief of staff in 1974, who had lamented in a dim corner of the White House just a few days before Nixon was forced to resign, "He'll be dead in a year."

Though Noriega may disclose embarrassing details about his ties to Washington, his chances of beating federal case 88-79-CR look dim. The Justice Department and the DEA have launched a full-court press against him, with at least a dozen federal prosecutors and 25 DEA agents working on the case for the past year and a half. Although the State Department long viewed the Noriega indictment as a handy political stick with which to oust a greedy and unsavory ally, the Miami prosecution team sees it as a pure and simple drug case. "The alpha and omega of this...
