Still, there was also a willingness to try to heal thorns in the flesh. Arizona Senator John McCain proposed that the Senate Judiciary Committee hold hearings into the 1993 siege of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, a shared emblem of pain among antigovernment zealots. That disaster, said McCain, "fanned the flames of distrust." Indeed, the general perception that the federal action was justified may come in for serious revisionism. In an article in the May issue of the religious journal First Things, Dean Kelley, a respected legal scholar, reviews the records of the siege and questions the need...
...PARAPHRASE OF MY REMARKS IMPLIED that I said New Testament writers distinguished between "flesh and spirit."

It may be that the sum of Dole's rhetoric never coheres into a concrete plan of action; yet setting a tone is the requisite beginning of a "viable message," and that's what Dole was about last week...
HERE'S A RIDDLE: what kind of Harvard theater group has no affiliation with the Harvard Radcliffe Dramatic Club, writes its own scripts, and has neither auditions nor comp. Hint: on any one rehearsal night, it could have the following shopping list: poster paint (especially flesh-colored), blond doll hair, cheap scissors, Whoppers, tinsel and rhinestones...
