...Tonto characterization. But Powell wasn't bolting from the side of his former boss. Far from it. So deep was his loyalty that Iran-Contra special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh opined in his report that Powell had been less than forthcoming with the investigation. Powell, of course, was furious, and publicly challenged the assertion - certainly nobody believes he had a leading role in that scandal, and it's unlikely to impede his passage to Foggy Bottom...
...might sound as though I am defending some bad evaluations. The problem is the reverse. I am admitting to good evaluations received sneakily. After early struggles with students who resisted challenges and barked at any criticism, who refused to regard themselves as beginners or who were furious if I didn't regard their short stories as brilliant, I stumbled upon some dubious teaching techniques, reversed the criticisms of these chronically unhappy students and improved my student evaluations for the semester.

In a business less interested in issues than in personalities, one group of entertainers needed somebody to laugh at; the other group needed somebody to be furious at. The impulse had as much to do with showbiz as with politics. When the post-election fray was joined by Jesse Jackson (whom one WABC spieler absently referred to as "Reverend Sharpton") and Robert Wexler ("one of the most vicious Clinton defenders," according to one of Grant's guests...
