...military is the institution in our society that best reflects the values of the Democratic Party," says retired Vice Admiral Joe Sestak, the Democratic candidate for Congress in Pennsylvania's Seventh District. This is a wonderful, underutilized political technique, the "Huh? Tell me more!" statement. And the small gathering of neighbors in Barbara and Charles Blum's Hershey's Mill living room is all ears. Sestak explains that the military provides universal health-care coverage and substantial educational benefits-"I was able to get a Ph.D. from Harvard," he says-and it has also been a pioneer in providing equal...
...Iraq, does not register with the Bush Administration. The laws of a democracy, or even a dictatorship, simply do not exist. The watercolors used by the Bush Administration to paint an encouraging picture of Iraq are being washed away by the blood of people ruled by fear, not hope.

While the definition of “completed” and its implications for the time period studied may get fudged a little, you may still have to delve a little deeper, Joe Science-Concentrator. Occasional courses on World War II or Vietnam notwithstanding, you’ll be studying the 19th century or earlier.As you do your delving, you’ll be doing so alongside people who have some experience in the field. As is the case in Historical Studies A, beware...
...Perhaps most importantly, the Chafee victory shows that moderates, despite what many pundits are saying these days, aren't dead yet. When Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, a Democrat, and Michigan Representative Joe Schwarz, a Republican, were both defeated in primaries over the summer, there was much talk about how the center in American politics was failing, as both political parties were increasingly intolerant of moderates and activists came to wield more influence. This may still be true, as one of the key differences between Chafee's race and Lieberman?s is that independents could vote in the former's race...
