...When Harold Ickes is having a good rich, wrathful week, probably every man, woman and child in the U.S. is against him. Honest, fearless, tough and shrewd--and loyal to his boss--Harold Ickes long ago earned his post as dog robber to the New Deal. He is the Scout who goes ahead, prowling the unexplored bushes of public opinion. He is the Whipping Boy who takes the blame whenever anything goes wrong. He is the Janitor who sweeps up the floor (usually using some victim as the broom). He is the Public Executioner, the Court Poisoner and the Bouncer...
...grew away from the movement, his wife remained loyal, Leyden says, spending more and more time with hard-core skinheads, some of whom Leyden thought were involved with guns and drugs.

Paying tribute to Dole's World War II heroism and decades of loyal Republican spadework, Bush said of Dole: "He will be a president we can look up to. He will do us proud...
...screen: "Clueless," resplendent with Beverly Hills bird-brains. Some logic might dictate that "Clueless" changes the locale and pace of the novel so radically--Emma would say "Whatever" only if followed by a four-line sentence sprinkled with semi-colons--that it couldn't possibly be a more loyal version. But where "Clueless" successfully looked to a new world ripe for the axing, McGrath's "Emma" creates an uncomfortable mix by updating an old world with more simplified satire and a touch of modern sensibility...
