...good in Congress is the price we pay for our fragmented system. It's well worth the cost because it also prevents individuals from abusing authority. Second, Mr. Moses completely ignores the real reason for the ruling--the enforcement mechanism (of OMB and CAO mandatory cuts) puts direct executive power in the legislative branch through the CAO. This decision hardly makes the law useless. A simple revision transferring responsibility solely to the OMB (in the executive branch) would snuff out this objection...
...Engagement represent the first alternative, they present themselves as initiatives against apartheid but are executed through close consultations with white South Africans. These white South Africans, like Professor James Moulder and Vice-chancellor Stuart Stevens of the University of Cape Town (a government run, almost exclusively white university) are direct beneficiaries of the current distribution of power in South Africa. There are many white South Africans who oppose apartheid but do not support Black majority rule. Their party is the Progressive Federalist Party, which contains the owners of the main gold mines.

This retrospective shows, clearly enough, how such images wound into Kline's work from his roots in the coal country of eastern Pennsylvania, where he was raised by his stepfather, a foreman on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, after his father shot himself in 1917.

...blankets; once indoors, lights frequently shattered because of the temperature change. After shivering on frigid sets, the cast finally obtained two 54-seat buses, where they changed costumes by retreating behind cloths strung up like curtains. Then last February, a month before he was scheduled to leave to direct a production at Berlin's Deutsche Oper, Schell was laid low by a fever for nearly four weeks. Torn between his Berlin commitment and the unfinished movie, Schell dragged himself out of bed to shoot a few more scenes in Leningrad before departing. "Sometimes," he groans, "I felt half unconscious...
