...movement for free airtime arises from several factors: people may be fed up with the slick spitballs that candidates throw from behind the mask of a voice-over. But the fact that both voters and sages decry them does not shame candidates out of using them, in part because they work. Furthermore, the reformers argue, raising the money to pay for the ads consumes the candidates' time and corrodes their independence.

The EEOC's suit essentially broadens the charges filed in the earlier private suit to include all female employees, past and present, who might have suffered harassment since the plant opened. That description, say EEOC investigators, could apply to more than 500 women. And under the revision of the Civil Rights...
First, Prince Yusupov and the others fed poisoned cakes and wine to Rasputin. The Czarina's dissolute monk seemed to thrive on them. He called for more wine and went on with the party...
