Step on political operatives' Guccis, insult their mothers, but never, ever imply that they lack clout. By beating CBS, the network's foes helped themselves--online muckraker Matt Drudge modestly declared on MSNBC that the incident marked "the beginning of a second media century." But their defense of Reagan was at best contradictory and at worst insulting: 1) Reagan is a titan who saved America and freedom...

...textbooks. Students are encouraged to remember Japan's unwillingness to apologize candidly for its wartime behavior. Little wonder that Li Li, a 21-year-old history student at Northwest who did not see the Japanese skit, said she felt that "clearly the offense was deliberate. They designed it to insult the audience. No one, including the dancers themselves, could have found the skit funny."
