...says. "I felt like 'Golly, I was shortchanged.'" He sent out a series of letters explaining his case to conservative advocacy groups and got a bite from Pat Robertson's American Center for Law and Justice. "This is a landmark case," says LeVake's pro-bono attorney, Frank Manion. "For the first time, we have a teacher who is not asking to teach creationism. He simply wants to teach science the way he thinks--and the way a lot of people think--it should be taught, in a more balanced...
...normal that those working in the state government should have political connections of some sort. In the Lieutenant Governor's office were Daniel Manion, son of the John Birch Society's Clarence Manion, and Frank Pope, whose family was so close to William Jenner that he grew up calling him Uncle Bill.

If Bush wants to get rid of Quayle, he may get as little cooperation as Eisenhower got from Nixon. Kristol, who turned down other job offers in the Administration...
...rights forward; Reagan nominees have shown that they are intent upon cutting them back. With three liberal justices poised for retirement, the next president, in effect, will cast the deciding votes. Bush supported the nomination of Robert Bork and he cast the tie-breaking Senate vote confirming reactionary Daniel Manion as a federal judge. He certainly would appoint justices who would send civil rights and civil liberties spinning backwards...
