...others are doing any better. Cranston jokes that "I had a full head of hair until Reagan became President," but even his TV ads bring out a flaw that is not the California Senator's fault: in an age of imagery, his bony build and glistening skull are unpresidential. With his brains and looks, Gary Hart should be a winning candidate. But his natural reserve makes him seem cold, even condescending. Ernest Rollings looks like a President, yet his quick tongue outpaces even his nimble wit; he rambles, improvises and seems to startle himself, as well as his audiences...
...nearly all the countries of Black Africa, engage in trade and relations with South Africa seems unimportant to him. Instead, Israel must be singled out for its association with that admittedly repulsive state But Mr. Kurzman, here as in the rest of his muddled account, ascribes to Israel the fault for circumstances created almost wholly by her enemies. During the 1960s, Israel justifiably prided itself on its extensive and program for undeveloped African states. Israeli advisers and technicians were active all over Africa.

If she does not then she is, according to Mr. Kurzman, obstinate (the term most favored by the press to describe Israel is "intransigent," which somehow never...
LIBBY OFTEN FINDS himself defending the poets against the judgments of critics who fault their work for obscurity. Wallace Stevens early work drew praise. Libby says, from critics who were "attracted more by the prospect of rational complexity than by the hope of vision" In fact, Libby insists that the contrast, and some times conflict, between the philosophical and the visionary deepens Stevens' poetry. At times it can be understood logically, while at other times, it can be experienced as ecstasy Academics often fail to come up with standards by which to judge such poetry How can one be objective...
Lebanon, 1978, 1982, 1983. Again, it is clearly the Israelis' fault. PLO terrorists should have every right in the world to lob mortars, and to stage periodic terrorist runs into the Jewish state. What right does Israel have to invade Lebanon to attempt to halt the waves of mansacal murders? The PLO should be alloweed to blow up any military targets in wants to--especially public buses, marketplaces, passenger planes, Olympic teams, nursery schools...
