Does the analogy fit? Has Hillary Clinton ever been associated with anything quite as shameful as Richard Nixon's 1950 Senate campaign, when, brimming with anti-communist arrogance after sending Alger Hiss to prison, Nixon ruthlessly demonized his Democratic opponent as "pink right down to her underwear?" Mrs. Clinton has been one of the most criticized, pilloried, and despised First Ladies. Yet, has she ever launched into a bitter and embarassing tirade at the press, like Nixon, who in 1962, angrily declared to reporters: "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore...
Twinlights' pinnacle is its remake of the obscure "Pink Orange Red." Like 1984's "The Spangle-Maker," their most accessible and popular song to date, "Pink Orange Red" never really resolves.

The Washington Legal Foundation, a vociferously antiregulatory group funded by conservative organizations and companies, has relentlessly attacked the FDA through lawsuits, press releases (sometimes printed on lurid pink and purple paper) and a series of vitriolic print ads. "If a murderer kills you, it's homicide," one declared. "If a drunk driver kills you, it's manslaughter. If the FDA kills you, it's just being cautious...
