...Irving has for his own ideological reasons persistently and deliberately misrepresented and manipulated historical evidence," Justice Gray ruled. "For the same reasons he has portrayed Hitler in an unwarrantedly favorable light." The judge also found Irving to be "an active Holocaust denier, anti-Semitic, racist [who] associates with right-wing extremists who promote neo-Nazism." Irving says he will appeal the decision...
Gilman, 35, an Alabama native who now lives in Chicago, has been quietly assembling an impressive body of work. Spinning into Butter, about the ramifications of a racist incident on a college campus, had a successful run at the Goodman last year. Her earlier play The Glory of Living, a shockingly deadpan portrait of a teenage girl who helps her husband abduct and kill young women, was produced at London's Royal Court Theatre early last year and won Gilman the Evening Standard award for most promising playwright. Yet because none of her work has been seen in New York...

(He of course betrayed that promise by raising taxes once elected). But working the big bogus vein has a way of paying off in American politics. If 1988 was a gridiron, the Democrat, poor Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts, was playing high school football. Bush was doing it the way they do it in the NFL - rough stuff and the killer instinct...
