...response to all this attention has been largely positive. "It's about time," says Pat Tobin, an L.A.-based adwoman whose clients include Toyota and AT&T. "African Americans helped build this country, and we've been shut out too long." Nevertheless, some blacks are put off by the idea of being treated as a monolithic entity instead of as individuals with tastes as diverse as anyone else's. Indeed, companies that actively pursue the black market run the risk of being criticized for stereotyping black consumers or exploiting them. "There's a fine line between trying to appeal...
...years later, Pat Buchanan rose before the delegates in Houston to declare what he called "a cultural war" (nothing like a war to obscure the economic issue) and try to help tear off a fat half of America for George Bush. A '50s kind of week in several ways: Buchanan eerily reproduced the punitive, menacing quality of his boyhood hero, Senator Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin. The role of threat to the American essence used to be played by communism. But moral squalor at home would do as well. Buchanan pounded at "the agenda that Clinton & Clinton ((meaning Bill...
...question is whether George Bush, or Dan Quayle, or Pat Buchanan, or any politician or government, can have much to do with improving a society's values -- family or otherwise.

His sister and campaign manager, Bay Buchanan, explains, "We need something broader and more relevant. The movement was defined by what no longer exists, the cold war, and still uses a vocabulary now out of date." The fact that Bush gets diminishing credit for the U.S. victory in the cold war during his watch is a larger sign of rot on the right. "There's an amazing disconnect," says one of Bush's top campaign...
...from here," said Bush. "I'll be making some proposals regarding the economy that I'm not going to discuss now that I think will take care of it." The last time the President told the nation to "stay tuned" was last fall. In the midst of Pat Buchanan's G.O.P. primary challenge, Bush's aides promised "new approaches" in his State of the Union address. The country waited and then yawned. Little new was offered. Another yawn this fall will send the President to retirement. If he really has "new approaches" up his sleeve, they had better be compelling...
