...inferior" race. Have the Afrikaaners been oppressive because there haven't been any legitimate Black leaders willing to negotiate with them? Is Moses comparing the ANC to the PLO or P.W. Botha to Yitzhak Shamir? Such analogies are not only false, but also absent-minded. In similar fashion, Moses writes that Europeans "colonized" the Jews on the "strip of desert," now known as Israel. Europe did not "colonize" Jews, it murdered them. The Jews "Colonized" themselves...
Many U.S. record executives prefer a tougher solution. They are urging Congress to force the DAT manufacturers to equip their machines with a computer chip that will block the copying of prerecorded music altogether.

Incredibly, Pistone lived in this fashion for five years without once stepping out of character.

But Iowa polling data suggest that Jackson is taking some white populist votes that might otherwise have gone to Simon. In similar fashion, a top strategist for George Bush argues, "There is no percentage in directly taking on Robertson unless he takes you on." But Robertson poses a clear threat to Bush: his Fundamentalist faithful have embarrassed the Vice President in the initial political skirmishing in Michigan...
...conventional rivals, albeit to little effect. Several profiles have knocked holes in Jackson's heroic posturing, most notably his hotly disputed boast that he cradled Martin Luther King in his arms after the assassination. Robertson has also been shown to have augmented his resume in a less than truthful fashion: his suspect claims range from assertions that he was a "combat" officer in Korea to exaggerated educational and business credentials...
