...candidates so far, and Buchanan is working hard to claim it. "We want to win Arizona very badly, but it's a very tough state and we came in here far behind Steve Forbes and Bob Dole," Buchanan said Friday. With polls showing Dole holding on to a narrow lead over Buchanan and Forbes, Buchanan intensified his attempt to appeal to Arizona's conservative base by trying to push his case as the most anti-abortion GOP candidate. "The right to life is more important to me than the presidency of the United States" he told an Arizona Right...
...much room for error, and once you get into trouble, it's hard to get out. The plane is underpowered, and the main wing provides a lot of lift, but is very long in relation to the length of the fuselage. The performance envelope is just very narrow; its an unforgiving airplane." This most recent crash of the multi-million dollar airplane occurred in the Persian Gulf early Thursday, and caused no loss of life.

Truth be told, the peasants' consciousness is narrow, hidebound and, from time to time, a big impediment to progress. Yet in China it still remains the dominant way of thinking. People have been used to it for thousands of years, and this phenomenon cannot easily be changed by less than 20 years of opening to the outside. To some extent, China's open-door policy even aggravates the worst part of the peasants' consciousness, for then they begin to see how unfair the reality is, and their world becomes more unbalanced...
