Instead of giving Clinton the hoped-for acquittal--which could have buried the issue and discredited Starr--the jurors handed the G.O.P. a bright flag to plant in the Whitewater muck. For one thing, they rejected a central tenet of Clinton's Whitewater theology. By basing their decision on documentary evidence and discounting the testimony of both Clinton and the defendants' chief accuser, David Hale, they undermined the White House argument that the investigation is a baseless, partisan witch hunt. Now it doesn't matter so much that no one can follow the storyline, says G.O.P. chairman Haley Barbour, because...
...politics are malleable. He is, at once, red enough for old-style Communists and white enough for hard-line nationalists. At a late-April meeting with the candidate in the town of Sosnovy Bor, due west of St. Petersburg, an old man with damp eyes and a Soviet-flag pin stuck in his lapel reverently described Zyuganov as ''one of the best leaders our party has ever had."

However, it was Brown's conviction that the personal insults dispensed by Carville and Franken so thoroughly discredit the Right...
When rap came around, however, younger performers found its passionate, insistent rhythms a more fitting vehicle for the messages they wanted to deliver and for presenting the truth of their lives. Groups like Public Enemy carried the flag of black protest, and later, gangsta rappers like Snoop Doggy Dogg chronicled the crime-ridden neighborhoods in which they lived in scathing, scatological terms. Soul music was left to Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men and the like. Talented performers, yes. Standard-bearers for musical boundary pushing...
