...does not think anyone should "feel intimidated to share his or her political beliefs." Berry and Housman do not acknowledge that we still belong to a nation in which Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) asserts that homosexuals are sinful and Rev. Jerry Falwell goes into a rage about a purple children's show character. These are the figures associated with conservatism; are these the figures of which Berry is proud? The majority of the nation hangs on to the status...
...book has touched a nerve in a society overdosed on sex and emerging from a most immodest year of sexual scandal. (Is it any surprise that sweeter days of swing dancing and Shakespeare are all the rage?) Shalit defends, at times compellingly, shame, privacy, gallantry and sexual reticence, if not virginity until marriage. Without these, she says, women have lost power, consigned to "dreary hookups" or sexual violence. "We want our 'feminine mystique' back," she writes, "and with it male honor."

But even with these loyalties, the battle would be too close to call...

The Rage brings to Boston an elite roster of wrestlers including The Rock, Undertaker, Big Bossman and more...
...stare too long at that 65% in the polls, I feel as if I inhabit someone else's country. Liberal Democrats felt that way in 1984 after the Reagan landslide. How to get over it? Sometimes rage can be appeased by historical perspective. Maybe not this time. Instructed by Toni Morrison's conceit that Clinton is "our first black President," I compare him to Martin Luther King Jr. King plagiarized parts of his doctoral thesis and was a relentless womanizer. So far, so good. But King was one of the half dozen greatest Americans; he worked with the nation...
