...angry. The president's response has been pathetic. First he denied the problem, then offered too little, too late in his overlyhyped State of the Union address. His jobs, jobs, jobs" trip to Japan was a political fiasco that accomplished nothing. He campaigned in New Hampshire with the fuzziest of messages and without attacking Buchanan's upstart, highly-ideological campaign...
...Jones believes in a peaceable kingdom, but he is well aware of Woody Allen's aphorism that the lion may lie down with the lamb, but the lamb will not get much sleep. There are some tough and hilarious negotiations before the forest can guarantee the survival of the fuzziest...

Most adult Canadians, the poll showed, have only the fuzziest notion of what the argument is all about. A full 11% thought Red China already had a U.N. seat; 41% did not know. Among the minority who did know, 57% favored seating Peking. This meant that in Canada's voting population as a whole, only 27% clearly favor a U.N. seat for the Chinese Communists...
