...mark; much of what he said was right. It is that Quayle represents an Administration that has only rarely supported the programs that actually promote strong families -- everything from child care and parental leave to infant nutrition, Head Start, apprenticeship training, gun control and -- well, the list is almost endless. In a callous drone, the less fortunate have heard a single Republican note for 12 years: "You're on your own." Quayle's complaint may be smart politics -- the White House is convinced that the November election will be a three-way battle in which core conservatives will determine...
...blindingly plain fact about Hanan, the thing you cannot doubt, is her passion and compassion. She interrupts an endless day's work to receive two unexpected callers: Ramallah women she's never met before who seek her help to free their sons held in Israeli detention. "To me," she says, "this is the horror of it. This is why I do it." To have a nation is the only way to stop the wrenching apart of families, she says.

Late-night TV viewers can call a 900 number to be advised on their future -- for a price -- by soothsayers whom they will meet only by telephone, introduced by Israeli "superpsychic" Uri Geller. Blissful devotees of meditation techniques sit for endless hours in yogic positions in ashrams, bouncing about on mattresses and trying to fly with mental power. With my experiences of these and hundreds of other incredible examples of human credulity, the notion of foreign agents' playing presidential speeches backward is hardly surprising...
