...that's important is ((that)) he didn't go to Canada." That is indeed an important distinction, but not in the way Bush Jr. seems to think. Those who went to Canada knew they were making a fundamental life choice.

This may have been right or wrong, but it was a serious moral decision with serious moral consequences. The National Guard, by contrast, was a way to avoid Viet Nam and the moral consequences at the same time. There...
While the problems in commercial banking are serious, the situation in the savings and loan industry is an outright disaster. At least 500 of the more than 3,000 S and Ls are insolvent: their liabilities exceed their assets. In 1987 alone, the Government closed 17 insolvent S and Ls and paid stronger institutions to take over 31 more. The total cost to FSLIC: nearly $4 billion.

Leading the top-ranked Yugoslavs by a score of 5-2 in the final game and needing an outright win, the U.S. team got caught in a riptide. The Americans gave up three goals in the last ten minutes and had to settle for a tie and second place. "We were so close in '84, and at this point, we don't want to leave any stone unturned," says...
That shameful act merely proved to foreshadow the stranglehold Jackson has on Blacks. There is not a Black politician willing to outright challenge Jackson these days. King's former aides have also fallen into line. Jackson has proven that not only can he get the Black vote, but that he can also direct...
