...face recalls his father's. the eyes are not so deep set; the jaw may not be quite so Rushmore ready. But the resemblance, if not deceiving, is striking. The voice, but for being perhaps a semiquaver deeper, is the very one that has moved millions. Yet evidence abounds of the Franklin Graham difference. In his office in Boone, North Carolina, are artifacts not associated with his father: the half-dozen military rifles mounted on the wall. A little way down the road stands his beloved Harley-Davidson Wide Glide. Hangared at a nearby airstrip is the six-seat twin...
...gold 1995 Toyota Camry to buy a sandwich at the busy Toms River Shopping Center. That's where her path crossed that of Michael LaSane, who, police say, wanted just such a car to celebrate his 17th birthday. Grabbing the diminutive Weinstein by the jaw, the assailant told her he had a gun and forced her into the Camry. The car was then driven to Manitou Park, about two miles from the shopping center.

To anyone familiar with the Speaker's facial English, this is something different from his jaw-set, get-on-with-it look. It meant he was listening. In Gingrich's free-market philosophy, the needs of business and workers shouldn't be so much at odds. Neither should the G.O.P. and the blue-collar voters it must hold. Says Souder: "He's trying to figure...
Crack! That was the sound of the Christian Right punching my jaw as I walked out of my Adams House room for dinner two weeks ago. Left in the door box was a "newspaper" titled "She's a Child--Not a Choice," printed by the Human Life Alliance of Minnesota Education Fund Inc. The cover was a color close-up of a "16-week-old baby developing in the womb." On the back was stamped: "Distributed by the Harvard-Radcliffe Alliance for Life." At least that solves the mystery of how it arrived...
