...Hearing Raph Nader?s name used to drive corporate lobbyists crazy. Now it is the consumer advocate?s old friends who howl at its mention. Their rage is fired by a paradox: the champion of reform arguably gave birth to Dubya?s age of conservative reaction. That makes Nader a politician with a national following but few allies. He continues to draw sizeable crowds at colleges and conferences across the nation, delivering the populist spiel he ran on as the Green Party candidate.

...long ago, the name of the company that Tim Koogle stepfathered from infancy to manhood deserved its exclamation point. It was a full-throated barbaric howl, the one profitable rebel yell of the Internet that really drove fear deep into the hearts of the old-media infantry. By last Wednesday, when the Robert E.

...eligible voters, reflecting the usually active electorate's distaste for the choice it faced. The result, if anything, reflects a massive protest against Barak by his own constituency, who'd been left depressed and confused by the events of the past six months. A protest, perhaps, or simply a howl of anguish...
