Both these groups are predominantly Republican, as is a third organization run by Charles Kelly, a retired Washington banker and former minor official in the Eisenhower Administration. His main effort is to talk to business friends about giving money to a Powell campaign, to preach the Powell gospel to influential Republicans and to organize a shadow national committee. None of this is big league enough to represent a real political force, but that's not surprising given that they have no real candidate to support...
...Negro, I have watched white churches stand on the sidelines and merely mouth pious irrelevancies and sanctimonious trivialities. In the midst of a mighty struggle to rid our nation of racial and economic injustice, I have heard so many ministers say, 'These are social issues with which the Gospel has no real concern.'"

...Clintonwere partners.TIME's Suneel Ratannotes that Hubbell had asked for a reduced sentence of 16 months, in part because of past charitable contributions and his cooperation with Whitewater prosecutors.

The hype surrounding HIStory is more like a four-alarm fire, a marketing campaign that will blaze through Christmas 1996. Crouch should...
McPeak dismisses the gospel of his former fellow Joint Chieftains, who insist that retreating from a two-war strategy would tempt troublemakers once U.S. troops were pinned down in the first conflict. "Not true," he insists. "If the adversary sees the U.S. keeping its commitment somewhere, it deters the second. Nobody in the world is anxious to fight the U.S. if they judge that we are serious." McPeak acknowledges that the Clinton Administration's shaky relations with the military make it unlikely that this Administration would push to replace the two-war strategy with a more modest pledge, although...
