...days of tap dancing, by late last week the Republicans had cleaved fairly cleanly between two camps: those in Pat Buchanan's populist, isolationist fortress who were arguing we should leave Europe to the Europeans, and those who, belatedly in some cases, fell in step behind Arizona Senator John McCain, the former prisoner of war in Vietnam, and called for NATO to fight on even harder to preserve the credibility of U.S. power...
Last month Pisa wrote Arizona Senator John McCain, a sponsor of an airline-passenger bill of rights, to tell him about the stolen plane tickets. Intrigued, McCain forwarded Pisa's letter to the Justice Department. It arrived just about the time the INS was arresting those illegals trying to fly out of Phoenix.

...pilots and management resumed their long-running hatefest, with the former staging a sick-out that stranded hundreds of thousands of passengers. In Washington, complaints about airline service--crowding, high prices, late flights--are stacking up so fast that Democratic Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon and Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona introduced legislation for a passenger bill of rights...
