Ambassador Martin, who died in 1990, was a strange combination of Pollyanna and paranoid. He often seemed to regard the Washington bureaucracy rather than the Vietnamese communists as his main enemy. In a just-declassified and previously unpublished cable, he ranted that State Department foes were calumniating him in the U.S. press: "The sly, anonymous insertions of the perfumed ice pick into the kidneys in the form of the quotes from my colleagues in the Department are only a peculiar form of acupuncture indigenous to Foggy Bottom against which I was immunized long ago."

...taxes and obligated to get permits and licenses to do everything but breathe? As for their filing "homespun legal papers," how presumptuous for them to think they can enter the courts without the assistance of one of the Law Enforcement Growth Industry members--"licensed" attorneys. They must be paranoid about this one-world-government thing. They don't need to form militias. Don't they know the crime bill calls for bringing in Hong Kong police to protect us?

But Salvi's lawyers will go to court in the next month and argue that he is unfit to stand trial. To bolster the argument, they intend to portray him as a mentally unstable young misfit pushed over the edge by the exhortations of radical antiabortionists. Phone numbers and literature found in Salvi's possession indicate that...
Leyner loves to take you behind closed doors to follow him on his imaginative paranoid ramblings. Maybe senators give one another tattoos--during session--corresponding to their ideology and accomplishments, or lack thereof. Has the medical industry been suppressing data (at the behest of the federal government, of course) that proves criminal activity causes physical attractiveness, the soca
