...ideological commitment to the status quo remains unshakable, and the threat of Iraqi missiles and Palestinian support for Saddam has only reinforced his views. Although the Administration's strong-arm tactics generated plenty of anger and anxiety in Jerusalem last week, the U.S. notably failed to elicit even a hint of flexibility...
...political impasse with Congress presents Bush with a tough election-year dilemma. The President does not want to alienate black voters, about half of whom currently support him in opinion polls. But neither does he want to jeopardize the crucial votes of blue-collar Reagan Democrats who oppose any hint of racial job quotas. Tepid conservative supporters and worried business groups, moreover, say they are against any law that could draw more civil rights claims into court.

Maniac Mansion has the old SCTV spirit, mixing the outrageous and the banal with nary a hint that anybody knows the difference. In one episode, Uncle Harry, who is still buzzing around the house, falls for a female fly, then has to console his jealous (and still life-size) wife.

The Wall Street Journal devoted almost an entire editorial page to the defense of the Review, and an American Enterprise Institute scholar told journalists that the Dartmouth administration had "convened a lynch mob to make...

But "in the aftermath," said the President, "there may be opportunities for Iraq and Kuwait to settle their differences permanently . . . and for all the states and the peoples of the region to settle the conflict that divides the Arabs from Israel." The hint of future Iraqi-Kuwaiti negotiations on such points as border disputes, ownership of oil fields and Iraqi access to the Persian Gulf was not new. But the mention of Israel seemed to contradict two months of indignant refusals from Bush to consider any link between Iraq's occupation of Kuwait...
