...replaces Alan J. Stone, also a former Clinton speechwriter, who oversaw Harvard's government, community, and media relations efforts for nearly seven years before stepping down earlier this month...
...before the good Dr. Dobson would give them an opportunity to unveil it. And they're not the only ones pushing back against the Christian Right leader's broadsides. The Matthew 25 Network is a political action committee formed in early June by Mara Vanderslice, a Democratic strategist who oversaw religious outreach on the 2004 Kerry campaign and remembers well the perils of remaining silent in the face of attacks on that candidate's Catholic faith.

(The current P.M. openly campaigned as Thaksin's proxy, since the former leader is currently barred from re-entering Thai politics.) At an astrological ceremony on Sunday, Varin played host to associates of the military regime who have...
