...recent challenges to George Bush's war record are perhaps the best example of this phenomenon. It was suggested that Bush had exaggerated his heroic exploits in World War II, but it was forgiven in part because the event in question occurred more than 40 years ago, and in part because Bush was in the navy, did fly several combat missions and has over his long tenure of public service proved himself to be, if nothing else, honest...
...Reagan coalition included Republicans and conservative Democrats, white ethnic voters, Hispanics--especially Cubans--and evangelicals. But for the most part, Blacks did not participate in the Reagan Revolution. Only 3 percent of delegates to the 1984 GOP Convention were Black, and only 4 percent of delegates here in New Orleans are Black.

...powered by the director's sense of kinship with his protagonist. Indeed, it is possible that if Coppola had been able to make this picture when he wanted to, he and his audience would have been spared much painful groping. For since 1974, when he released The Godfather, Part II and The Conversation almost simultaneously, he has been a stylist in search of a subject.

Hengel and his colleagues, and scholars elsewhere, are now reversing that anti-Semitic tradition, discovering that...
...drove through Lisburn, ten miles south of Belfast. Half an hour later in West Belfast, two gunmen dragged an off-duty Ulster Defense Regiment lance corporal from a supermarket and, as his wife and two-year-old daughter looked on, shot him dead. The next morning a part-time private in the U.D.R. was shot to death 40 miles west of Belfast. Two men were gunned down in nearby County Fermanagh when an I.R.A. squad let loose with 150 rounds at close range. Finally, an I.R.A. bomb injured three soldiers and a civilian in a British army barracks in West...
