...embracing a values-based critique of social policy, Clinton was able to pre-empt the social and cultural issues that had so emboldened the Republican right in 1994. This political approach also made it possible for the President to neutralize the other key political issues the Republicans hoped to exploit: crime, welfare and immigration. By taking these issues, as well as the fiscal issues, out of play, President Clinton succeeded in taking away virtually every potentially effective issue that Dole and the Republicans could have hoped to use. One of the reasons why commentators are now busily writing stories about...
...Republicans have to be careful about making too much out of Morris, whose clients have included such conservative Republicans as North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms and Mississippi Senator Trent Lott, the new majority leader.

Like all great teachers, he was telling Americans something they already knew, in this case about health. At the same time, he was hinting at something they didn't know, a simplified Hinduism that was fascinating to a nation of seekers. Says...
...Nebraska housewife's enthusiasm for soap-opera star Susan Lucci, with whom she passionately discussed All My Children plot lines from more than 10 years ago on her premiere show. Unlike David Letterman, O'Donnell doesn't seem to be forcing a good mood; nor does she exploit guests as foils for her own comedy. She can talk to them rather than at them because she actually goes to the movies and watches TV; when Donny Osmond comes on she can belt out Osmond songs that even he doesn't remember...
