...find liberals (like Mike Malloy of Atlanta's WSB), black nationalists (including several hosts on New York's WLIB) and a few leftists. Tammy Bruce, a lesbian feminist and head of the Los Angeles chapter of NOW, works weekends on Los Angeles' KFI. Jim Hightower, a folksy, funny Texas populist who is nearly as quick to criticize Clinton as he is the right wing, graces 180 stations...

After the general's Inauguration, his supporters returned to the White House and proceeded to get liquored up. In an orgy of populist celebration, they smashed the china and crystal. Men in muddy boots stood on damask-covered chairs. The overdressed swells at the party were so alarmed by the rabble that they fled through the windows of the People's House, along with the new President himself...
