...copycat spectacle was gratifying to Forbes, who especially savored Dole's dilemma when the majority leader stood before the cameras as Kemp laid out a dozen principles for changing the tax code. "He clearly wanted out of there as quickly as possible," Forbes observed. "He wasn't comfortable. I think he's never been one for major ideas, especially on the tax side." Editor that he is, Forbes even writes his opponent's script for him. "He could have said, 'In 30 years, I've seen what a monstrosity this system is. I may even have contributed to the monstrosity...

The thing they created was greater than any of them...
...CLOC, an unabashedly white-supremacist organization based in Columbia, South Carolina, takes pride in running locals off certain innocuous parts of Usenet with its race baiting. Members claim to have emptied out half a dozen forums already, including, improbably, alt.fan.barry-manilow and alt.food.dennys. "If you want an organization which makes things happen, visit our victims and learn first-hand what kind of a group we are," they boast at their World Wide Web site, which features an image of a burning cross. "CLOC is clearly on the forefront of the great war for Aryan domination of the Internet...
