...years later, Pat Buchanan rose before the delegates in Houston to declare what he called "a cultural war" (nothing like a war to obscure the economic issue) and try to help tear off a fat half of America for George Bush. A '50s kind of week in several ways: Buchanan eerily reproduced the punitive, menacing quality of his boyhood hero, Senator Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin. The role of threat to the American essence used to be played by communism. But moral squalor at home would do as well. Buchanan pounded at "the agenda that Clinton & Clinton ((meaning Bill...
...mostly the economy. The Orange Eight are led by Roger Johnson and Kathryn Thompson. Johnson runs Western Digital, a Fortune 500 computer-parts manufacturer; Thompson is the county's second largest real estate developer and a former member of Team 100, the superexclusive organization of wealthy Republican fat cats.

Those who do manage to escape their gang while remaining in the neighborhood are often sucked back in by a confluence of raw fear and sheer necessity. "The pressure is just too damn strong," concedes Commander Robert Dart, who heads the Chicago police department's gang unit. "You can't be an island out there...
...material the body uses to produce the energy. Only a generation ago, when protein was the breakfast of champions, athletes were chowing down on steak and eggs. Now every morsel is evaluated. At the U.S. training center's cafeteria, each food item is labeled with its carbohydrate, protein and fat content. Large amounts of carbohydrates, as much as 60% to 70% of daily calories, are the mainstay of athletes' diets, because a storehouse of such foods helps maintain stamina. Nutritionists advise players to limit fat intake to 30% of calories, protein to about...
