...SPANISH CONSIDER the members of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade heroes, whereas many Americans have no idea who they are or what they represent. The Good Fight reveals the personal side of their story, triumphantly bringing to life an important piece of history that was left out of the textbooks. When some Harvard alumni found out about the locally produced documentary, they arranged for two previews to be shown at Gutman Library for educators as well as the press...
...rather those filthy moneymongers forced him to. Finally, sick of prostituting himself and his country, he resolved to stop being their puppet. As a result, they organized the Watergate scandal to boot him out of office. Nixon reveals all sorts of other things too--his dreams of being Abraham Lincoln, his childhood insecurities, his hatred of Kennedy.

He is using Goodman's release in an attempt to change the Lebanon environment before time runs out for a settlement. In the next...
...REAGAN loses his reelection bid, it should in part be because millions of Americans, regardless of ideology or party, are embarrassed that their leader is so consistently stupid, misinformed, or dishonest. The library will be built in 1985, and in front will be a statue of Abraham Lincoln engraved with the first Republican President's pertinent insight: "You can fool some of the people some of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." If, as most pundits predict, Reagan does win four more...
