...unreconstructed liberal masquerading as a centrist, many pundits have changed their mind. Clinton, they now argue, is little different from George Bush. Recalling a litany of unfulfilled campaign pledges and a budget heavy on deficit reduction, the New York Times complains that Clinton "promised voters more than a rehash." That's right, and only the President's fabulists would deny that the rhetoric of 1992 rings a bit hollow in 1993. But overall, the rap is bum. America isn't close to beginning "a great national journey" (as Clinton grandly advertised his proposed departures last February), but the budgetary road...
Relax, I'm not going to rehash the moribund evolution vs. creationism debate. Evolutionary theory is based on empiricism, and thus there can be no argument that it belongs in a science class. Assertions of the type made in the text book, though, go beyond facts. In describing the development of life as "unplanned" and without purposeful design, the book tries to explain the forces ultimately behind evolution. It thus exceeds the bounds of observation and objectivity, and falls into the realm of subjective truth. By implying that no higher consciousness was behind the design of the universe, the book...
...Henry V and little of the rowdy dazzle of Dead Again. He also misuses some wonderful actors, including his wife, Emma Thompson; she must put her radiance on hold to play a prematurely old maid who wants Peter to "fill me with your babies." Though the plot is a rehash of The Big Chill, you may ultimately begin wishing Peter's Friends were instead a remake of Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians. Which one of these egregious twits, you ask hopefully, will be the first to be killed...
Despite being widely hailed as a first (if late) expression of the President's vision for America in the 21st century, Bush's Detroit address was little more than a gussied-up rehash of old ideas. One of the few new notions was his call to slash by 5% the pay of career government workers earning more than $75,000 a year. (The White House won't say whether the boss would gut his own $200,000 salary.) "Other Americans have tightened their belts, and so should the better-paid federal workers," Bush told his Detroit audience of business heavyweights...
...Barbara Walters talked with Bush on 20/20 not long ago, the encounter was so carefully stage-managed that her earnest voice-over ("The President's greeting was warm, his desk clear") sounded like parody. ABC's Peter Jennings aired a prime-time special last week on Perot, but the rehash of familiar material was merely a warm-up to the lively 1-hr. 40-min. "town meeting" that followed...
