...then later when the Communists came to power. The result, Albright said, is that "My mindset is Munich; most of my generation's was Vietnam." In a day and age where many political leaders are pushing for a more limited use of force, Albright is a fervent believer in using U.S. power overseas, assisting in the overthrow of repressive regimes and punishing human rights violators. She went so far as to ask General Colin Powell, "What's the point in having this superb military you're always talking about if we can't use it?" Clearly then, it does...
Apologies and rationales for marijuana are often ingenious, sometimes fervent, and in their essence, when applied to marijuana use by adolescents, dangerously wrong. The stage of development through which a child passes from ages 12 to 18 is critical. Adolescence is the labor that gives birth to the adult. It is a painful, indispensable process. Adolescence quite precisely requires the pain and difficulty of learning in order to come out well. Among the lessons, of course, are how to love and support others and how to be responsible...
...best part of the good side could be intensely moving--if you got past the stage of feeling merely seduced. At moments (one evening in Louisville, Kentucky, for example, at a kind of torchlight rally outside the old Louisville Slugger factory) Clinton's fluent, fervent idealism seemed to open a door--a sentimental one, perhaps--upon a sweeter, better side of America, the side full of promise: the quality he means to suggest when he talks about the Hope of his Arkansas childhood.

...song, "Tropical," Carla Gillis (lead guitarist and singer) declares, "I'm sick of your morals, I'm sick of them, My mother told me what to do today!" Yet behind this repetition, two guitarists piece together a surf-rock riff, while the bass (Amanda Braden) roots the song's fervent movement with hard-driving chords. In "The Phone, the Phone," sisters Lynette and Carla blend two different vocal styles and come up with a wonderfully complementary sound. One sister repeats the chorus as the other sarcastically murmurs, "I'm up here in my room again, listening to my entire record...
...Harvard Medical School, a bastion of high-end biomedical research, offers a course on how alternative treatments might affect clinical practice and research. Harvard has also endowed a Mind/Body Medical Institute chair, the first in the field of behavioral medicine, which is currently held by Dr. Herbert Benson, the fervent promoter of the "relaxation response," a physiological state of decreased blood pressure, heart rate, metabolism and respiration. Harvard professor Dr. David Eisenberg, who studied Chinese medicine in Beijing, directs the Center for Alternative Medicine Research at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital. Stanford offers its medical students a course that examines...
