...They created suspense through sound effects; aurally, this was radio?s most sophisticated show. In "Treasure Island," the second show in the series, a blind pirate approaches Jim Hawkins? inn, and for more than a minute we hear nothing but menacing footfalls, a fierce knock on the door, a rat-tling of the locked latch and a slow retreat. For the dungeon scenes in a magnificent version of "The Count of Monte Cristo," Welles (Edmond Dantes) and Collins (the Abb?) lay on the CBS men?s room floor and spoke into a micro-phone at the base of the toilet...
...dwelt on his loss. Instead, they say, he has focused on traveling, teaching, giving little-noticed speeches and writing a book with Tipper about strengthening families. He has stoked up his political action committee, and he's stumping on behalf of Democrats like New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Jim McGreevey. But what does he think about last year? Few can say. An associate recalls asking Gore what he thought the mistakes of the 2000 election had been. "He gave me a look that said, 'Well, I won, didn't I?,'" the associate says.

...days immediately following the rape charge, most news outlets didn't report the race of the accused. Some Western journalists did, but they didn't note that the accuser was almost certainly a kokujo and that the nightclub culture around the Okinawa bases is almost as segregated as the Jim Crow South.

Of course, for a kokujo to say she was there to meet a man is not proof of consent. In the U.S. today, a woman...
...beat. The Republicans who might challenge her in a primary are a motley collection of congressmen, wealthy unknowns, or candidates who've lost previous statewide elections. The Democrats have so far offered up only second-string candidates as well. Their three best hopes for taking the seat - former Gov. Jim Hunt, former Clinton chief of staff Erskine Bowles, and Congressman Robert Etheridge - have all said they won't run. Democrats also don't believe they'd get much mileage out of the fact that Dole currently lives at the Watergate complex in Washington, not North Carolina. In addition...
...Republicans in Washington dearly hope Liddy Dole would have the charm to hold a seat they can't afford to lose. The GOP, of course, wants to take back the Senate, which it lost last May when Vermont Sen. Jim Jeffords defected to the Democrats. But that may become an uphill battle: The numbers in the 2002 election seem to favor the Democrats putting some padding on their one-vote lead in the Senate. Twenty seats now held by Republicans are up for grabs, while the Democrats have only 14 seats at stake...
