His judicial appointments have met fierce opposition from those who object to the liberal bent of his appointees. Finally, his well publicized private life has occasionally surfaced as a source of embarrassment with his Zen Buddhism and sketchy affair with pop star Linda Ronstadt drawing the most barbs.

Those who would disagree with individual parts of the proposal would take out their displeasure on the U.S., which might...
...promised land that God himself had given the Jews.) He was not asking for such a procedure now, he said, because it might embarrass Egypt if its leader did not appear to represent the interests of Arabs who were not present.
