...stabilization, for strengthening order, so that authority is authority and not jelly." He now favors a "stable political coalition of centrist forces" that will include more than the Communist Party but exclude radical democratic groups.

Margaret and Pauline's early years in Iraq are a time of relative comfort, of trading tips with other expats on where to find potatoes and Western clothes. War with Iran brings increased state propaganda and a clampdown on dissent that makes Iraqis distrustful of neighbors. Then, in 1990, international sanctions bring food shortages and ration lines.

...where a specific woman would probably get sick if she didn't undergo an intact D&E. In this so-called "as applied" challenge, the court could see when the procedure was necessary to protect a woman's health and rule the law unconstitutional in those situations.
