...over a patron code of conduct that banned homeless people with poor personal hygiene. But the self- styled "homeless Ralph Nader" found himself barred from the building once again last week when a federal appeals court in Philadelphia overturned his victory and upheld the right of public libraries to expel vagrants in certain circumstances. A lower court had said the rules were an infringement of Kreimer's First Amendment rights, but the three-judge appeals panel disagreed. Although the library is a public forum, it "need not be used as a lounge or a shelter," wrote Judge Morton I. Greenberg...
Gaddafi's chicanery, though, appeared to win him only a brief delay. Without ! waiting for the World Court's ruling, the Security Council is expected this week to adopt sanctions directing U.N. members to break all airline links with Libya, stop all sales of arms to that country and expel most Libyan diplomats. Such penalties, and Gaddafi's desperate efforts to escape them, signal that the civilized world's terrorist counteroffensive has made much more progress than is often generally recognized...
...hardly enough, though, to expel a few thousand mid-level bureaucrats from the alleged Eden inside the Washington Beltway.

Rosenthal accused Buchanan of anti-Semitism and "blood libel" (a reference to the canard leveled by bigots since the Middle Ages that Jews kill Christian children and use their blood in making Passover matzo). Rosenthal's attack was so outrageous that Buchanan survived the storm...
...February 1942 Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9,066, authorizing DeWitt to expel all Japanese, aliens and citizens alike, from the coastal area. That spring 120,000 people were rounded up with little more than the clothes on their back -- farmers and fishermen, old women, children, a kaleidoscope of the "subversive." They were shipped off to 10 bleak concentration camps in remote areas like Manzanar, west of Death Valley...
