...final fortnight, the dueling ads will push hard at emphasizing the different views of life in Israel. Labor's spots glow with the benefits of the peace process. Happy, smiling Israelis are shown cavorting amid prosperity; youngsters speed down a highway in a yellow convertible while the Golden Arches of the newly arrived McDonald's beckon. The images in the Likud ads stress the flaws in the current peace: a bus decimated by a suicide bomber, a burning car hit by a Hizballah Katyusha...
...same folks who brought you the Fox Box, the glow puck and an in-studio football field are about to transform baseball, or try to. Since its first broadcast less than two years ago, Fox Sports has left a sizable imprint on televised sports with innovative gimmicks, over-the-top commentary and a philosophy of fun with games.

It is fortunate for Clinton that our voting system doesn't measure intensity of feelings, because his opponents dislike him with a seething passion while his supporters can rarely muster more than grudging acquiescence...
...freshmen vowed no compromise; liberals wrote them down as fascists. The Million Man March, otherwise admirable, provided the platform for minister Louis Farrakhan's elaborate numerological fantasies, the very arithmetic of the universe clicking in conspiracy. Whitewater and Vincent Foster's death continued to emit a low-intensity radioactive glow (a marvelously double-jointed paranoid bumper sticker said IF VINCE FOSTER HAD OWNED A GUN, HE WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY). And, of course, an elaborate police conspiracy framed O.J. Simpson for a double murder...
