...wonderful to hear prominent Republicans suddenly discovering the vital role of the National Guard in preserving our freedom. Quayle himself said in his Thursday-night acceptance speech that he is "proud" of his National Guard service, during which he was trained as a welder and then put to work grinding out press releases. The same people who make a big issue of Michael Dukakis' veto of a law requiring people to recite the Pledge of Allegiance -- implying, though never saying, that this casts doubt on Dukakis' patriotism -- insist that it is somehow a cheap shot to ask what Dan Quayle...

Bush nodded his head in obvious sympathy and assured them again, "If any of these questions put you on the spot, don't answer...
...whole foundation of psychoanalysis teetering. According to Masson, Freud had initially believed his female patients during the 1890s when they told him of being sexually abused, often by fathers or other relatives. But under strong pressure from a male colleague, and knowing how little his fellow Viennese cared to hear or to talk about incest, Freud later changed his mind: these women had not been molested or seduced; they had fantasized such experiences...
