...forget the promises Clinton made to homosexual activist groups when he promised to allow gays to freely and openly serve in the military. After election, in typical Clintonesque indecisiveness, he pronounced his "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Clinton didn't come to a compromise where everybody got a little of what they wanted; rather, all Clinton's policy aimed to do was make sure that more mainstream America did not object to harshly while simultaneously telling liberals that he had attacked the problem. In reality, he broke his promise to homosexuals and did nothing to solve the conflict...
...would be easy to view this 17-month old's rape as an isolated incident, with few implications beyond the horrifying scope of child abuse. Most of us will undoubtedly forget about this child's rape as we have forgotten about the brutal rape of an octogenarian grandmother last year in New York. I also want to forget. I want to forget the faces of my female peers who blame themselves after being "date raped," who would rather suffer the psychological and emotional consequences than be put on trial. But I can't forget the puffed eyes, or the anguished...
...notably in our schools, the voices of women are silenced, and men are taught that they are entitled to power and the validation of their opinions. But the perpetrators are not men.

Like the Shah of Iran in his final days, Bob Dole's campaign doesn't have many places to set down. In almost every big state but Texas, there's an unwelcoming crowd on the ground. Michigan and Illinois? Not good. Likewise Ohio. Forget New York. Even Florida is tilting the wrong way. That suggests an explanation for the official version of the Republican endgame, the one Dole's campaign embarked on last week. It calls for a last-ditch effort to win California and its 54 electoral votes, even if that means neglecting smaller but more promising potential swing...
...tell the system the company you're sending a payment to, their mailing address, and pertinent information like your account number. From then on, whenever you want to send a payment to that creditor, you select them from a menu and tell HomeLink how much you want to send. Forget looking for stamps; the bank transfers the funds electronically or mails a check themselves...
