...William Berney, who pervert morality onto a framework that cannot stand its weight? It's an exhausted tale of witches and lovers and hillbillies, a sinnin' and a rollin' in the hay and a borin' you to tears. And you the congregation knows what will happen and have no reason to care...
Part of the reason for the failure of progressive forces in recent years has been the left's misplaced emphasis on electoral politics. In the midst of a Presidential campaign in which all three Democratic non-candidates have been wooing the left--more with images of idealism and hope than with tangible proposals or commitments--the left must be careful not to make the mistakes it has repeatedly made in the past which have cost us our influence on national policy. The left must not be seduced or deluded into backing one of the three in the belief that...
MAINTAINING social events in the Houses was the main reason for happy hours, and the main reason why students are scrambling to find some way around the rules. It's not that difficult, because private parties are untouched by the rules, and in at least one House, the happy hours are being served there.

In other words, if the policy reduces inflation then the monetarists will take credit, but if it doesn't they can say their ideas failed...
Different folks paint with different strokes. But that is no reason why a 20th century artist like Andrew Wyeth should not come to the aid of an 18th century portrait painter like Gilbert Stuart. To buoy Bostonians who are trying to raise $2.5 million by year's end to keep Stuart's famous paintings of George and Martha Washington from eloping to the National Portrait Gallery in that other Washington, Wyeth came down from Maine to contribute to Boston's "Save Our Stuarts" campaign. The guru of Chadd's Ford even posed, check in hand, with...
