Sentiment on GATT doesn't divide along partisan lines. Before the task fell to Clinton, the agreement was championed by Ronald Reagan and George Bush. Ranged against it now is a loose front that runs from labor unions, environmental groups and Ralph Nader to protectionist Senate Democrats like Ernest Hollings of South Carolina and Republicans like Phil Gramm of Texas. But Gingrich is a longtime GATT supporter who says he will make sure the agreement passes the House vote scheduled for Nov. 29. So the man who holds the cards is incoming Senate majority leader Bob Dole...
...called Lauren--son of fashion maven Ralph Lauren--to investigate how he was going to transform the undergraduate journal he created at his alma mater, Duke University, into a national glossy. Swing first attracted my attention at the June Presidential Gala held at the New York Sheraton Hotel. At the Democratic fund-raiser, 20-something women were fawning over a certain not-so-tall guy in a loose-fitting navy pinstripe suit. He was David, they said, and he was starting a magazine for Generation X--American 20-somethings whom he (and the executives marketing Swing) knew to have tremendous...
...lower court decision. The rationale for denying an invitation would have to satisfy an extremely high standard, because the lower court ruled that appearing on public TV was a candidate's First Amendment right. The 1992 case originated in Arkansas, when the Arkansas Educational Television Commission didn't invite Ralph Forbes, an independent U.S. House candidate, to a debate. Forbes sued; his lawsuit was first dismissed and then reinstated by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The decision only applies to government-funded public stations.Post your opinion on theElection '94bulletin board...
...ethnicity. Others, like Morrison and novelist Charles Johnson, whose Middle Passage won the National Book Award for fiction in 1990, explore the black experience in America. Still others, such as Wolfe, choreographer David Rousseve and writer Darius James (Negrophobia: An Urban Parable), dissect racial stereotypes, while those like choreographer Ralph Lemon and sculptor Martin Puryear reflect no identifiable racial content at all. Rita Dove summarizes the trend best when she says: "There are times when I am a black woman who happens to be a poet and times when I am a poet who happens to be black. There...
Jones is not the only black choreographer to resist the aesthetic dominance of the late, great Alvin Ailey, whose masterworks were mostly composed to black music and whose themes were rooted in African-American history. The austere, abstract work of Ralph Lemon, 42, for example, owes a clear visual debt to such white Post-modern experimentalists as Meredith Monk and Trisha Brown. With their sense of order and symmetry, Lemon's dances even resemble the plotless ballets of George Balanchine, in spirit if not vocabulary. When a friend in Denver challenged Lemon to create a piece with a black theme...
