...shouldn't Arbatov and his like, when they come to our country, be forced to answer the "tough ones?" Why should the incredible gall shown by their pious intonations of peace go virtually unchallenged? Why should their dismissal of direct questions be perceived as "statesman-like" when a similar action by an American would be called "stonewalling?" Soviet officials routinely dodge accountability for their actions by invoking an alleged "need" for harmonious East-West relations which nasty questions would presumably harm. It's time for us to call their bluff...
Bethesda Naval is the hospital of Presidents. Ronald Reagan went there last year to have a cancerous polyp removed from his colon. Richard Nixon was treated for viral pneumonia at the 500-bed facility in 1973. Lyndon Johnson had his gall bladder excised at the hospital in 1965 then proudly displayed his scar to anyone who cared to see it. Bethesda, in the northwest outskirts of Washington, D.C., is also a jewel in the crown of the U.S. military health care system, whose 688 facilities care for the nation's wounded in time of war.

How ironic, coming from the man about whom fans and sports critics alike have said the very same thing...
...Grabs is a story of rapacity and gall told with bemused admiration for the waves of visionaries and scamps who have left their mark on the Sunshine State. "All our lies would turn out to be true," says a veteran developer who bet that dreams of warmth and leisure would prevail over miasmal realities. Florida's first land barons dredged canals and transformed muck into pay dirt. Huge damp swaths of the stuff were then subdivided and merchandised as paradise. Georgia Poet Sidney Lanier was hired to lure frostbitten Northerners with seductive publicity, and William Jennings Bryan was paid...
