...publishing house has the right to reject any manuscript it does not deem worthy of print. If Cambridge University Press deems Karakasidou's book unpublishable, Karakasidou has the right to peddle it to other presses. If the book has value, then the market system predicts that other presses will be willing to publish it. The staff quietly notes that the University of Chicago Press is willing...
...should be denied good health care simply because they can't afford it. And we don't think people should be denied the right to pool their health-care costs with others--the essence of insurance--just because their particular costs are predictably high. On the other hand, we reject the Big Government solution to these problems, as symbolized (somewhat unfairly) by President Clinton's health-care plan of 1993. Thus the temptation of this year's leading health-care proposal, jointly sponsored by Republican Senator Nancy Kassebaum and Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy. The 46 co-sponsors cover the ideological...
...reject any atavistic responsibility for my ancestors' repugnant acts. I am sorry for slavery like I am sorry for the Holocaust (no family connections there).

...goes only skin-deep. Seriously flawed parliamentary elections produced a legislature so thoroughly controlled by Aristide's Lavalas Party that fledgling opposition parties boycotted subsequent balloting, making Haiti effectively a one-party state. Only 28% of the populace bothered to vote in the December presidential election because most Haitians reject the constitutional restrictions that bar Aristide from serving successive terms. Bound by a promise extracted by Clinton, Aristide grudgingly stepped down, but the charismatic populist shows every intention of running again in 2000 and will hover powerfully over the political scene, a force so dominant it scarcely matters whether...
...could well mean more painful news for Samper, who, a Bogota analyst predicted, "will be staggering from revelation to revelation if he doesn't step down." Valdivieso sees one potential benefit in the crisis. "If it is resolved properly," he suggests, "at a time when Colombians are willing to reject the narco society they used to tolerate, we will have a better country." That obviously depends on whether Samper stays or goes...
