...least for the Society's approximately 75,000 members) at evoking the horrors of Big Government, or maybe it has just been more graphic. Instead of referring vaguely to pointy-headed pencil-pushers on the Potomac, the Birchers never miss the chance in their literature to say that endless waves of rules and regulations, paperwork, and forms to fill out are tentacles of central government reaching out to clasp Americans in warm, dark totalitarianism...
Freed from the endless political bickering, Rocky hopes to be able to devote his remaining months as Vice President to the urgent national problems that have always concerned him. But stripped of his political power, he may find that he lacks clout in other areas as well. Instead of being attacked, he may be ignored-the ultimate humiliation for such a lifelong political activist. Richard Cheney, Rumsfeld's successor as White House Chief of Staff, is a Rumsfeld man.

CHUL's proposal and Harvard's choice should meet several goals, decision should resolve the endless and self-perpetuating debate.

While awaiting orders to cross the Spanish Saharan border 21 miles to the south -the "go" signal may be given this week -bejeweled women...

Part of this admiration undoubtedly stems from Montale's mastery of the doom-filled Eliotic metaphor ("All our life and all its labors spent/ Are like a man upon a journey sent/ Along a wall that's sheer and steep and endless, dressed/ With bits of broken bottles on its crest"). Part is due to the writer's stoic career. Like an earlier Nobel laureate, Albert Camus, Montale was a bitter antiFascist.
