...said Monday in Chicago that he understands the emotions about immigration, and that it is ?a tough issue for members to vote on.? He promised that if he disagrees with someone, he is ?not going to debase them in the public arena.? The question is how hard he will lean on them in private. And whether an illegal worker will leave the shadows, if they also have to leave the country...

...unwillingness of audiences to forgive the band is inseparable from politics. Market research indicates the average country listener is white, suburban and leans to the right, and they need not lean too far to file away an insult against a wartime President. Still, as the President's support has eroded and growing numbers of Americans (presumably some country-music fans among them) have come to disapprove of both his performance and the decision to go to war, shouldn't there be a proportional feeling of forgiveness toward the Dixie Chicks...

...Poitier all took in artist Gregory Colbert's sepia-toned photos and videos of humans communing with animals. So did STEVEN SPIELBERG and his wife Kate Capshaw. The director, Colbert says, "grilled me for about a half an hour about how I got certain shots. He told me David Lean would have done this and John Ford would have done that."

Sure, most of them have read Ayn Rand’s novels—perhaps even briefly fell in love with Objectivism—but, like everyone else, they realized that they were being callous pricks and soon thereafter forgot about Howard Roark. Nevertheless, what is common from Milton Friedman to John Mackey is a fervent, but tempered belief in individual choice. Importantly, liberty does not have to come...

...government isn't backing down. Japan's official line is that its culture is entwined with whaling. Some Japanese communities have a long tradition of hunting whales, but the meat wasn't eaten widely until the lean years after World War II, when it provided an abundant supply of protein during chronic food shortages. The average Japanese was eating only 13 oz. of the meat annually by 1980, seven years before the IWC moratorium took effect...
