...call for a more balanced dialogue between Jews and the Christian Right may not go unheeded. Only this week Ralph Reed, executive director of the Christian Coalition, addressed leaders of the ADL in Washington, claiming that Jews and Christians must cooperate in "the fight to achieve moral stability and a sense of community based on shared values." Reed's remarks represent a welcome overture in a climate of growing hostility. Of his hopes for increased good will between Americans Jews and Christians: may they go from Mr. Reed's mouth to God's ears...
Opposing the legislation was the 60,000-member Association of Trial Lawyers of America, which characterized the reforms as "propped up by distortion and lies." In Alabama, Beasley said, with protection like this his vanquished foes "would have clicked their heels and chirped like larks." Ralph Nader was a particularly vociferous opponent. Nader said only $3 billion annually passes from losers to winners in insured payouts when companies are sued, pointing out that $3 billion is less than a year's profits for many large companies-Ford or GM, say.

It was Sporkin at his most sulfurous who dismissed the 1990 suit by which Charles Keating tried to regain control of Lincoln Savings & Loan, whose collapse cost taxpayers $2 billion. Bluntly accusing Keating of "looting" Lincoln funds, Sporkin also pointed the finger at the lawyers and accountants...
...Contract with America,'' and Gingrich made it clear, in his first few weeks as Speaker, that he hoped to sidestep the issue. The White House bungling, however, has given Republicans an irresistible opportunity to appease the antiabortion crowd on the ground that they were deceived. As Christian Coalition head Ralph Reed puts it, ``This nomination is dead. It is not about ideology. It's about competence.'' There has been a tragic level of poor staffing by the White House and hhs. Barely uttering the A word, Gingrich told reporters last Friday that ``the most disturbing thing is the quality...
