...Americans' view of Africa and rewrites the terms of U.S. policy. Yet the first, riveting picture bounced back across the Atlantic was of a frightened, scarlet-faced President Bill Clinton shouting "Back!" as he was nearly trampled by screaming, shoving crowds in Ghana's capital of Accra. Complained the Rev. Jesse Jackson, shepherding Clinton across the African continent: "A half-million people were reduced to 40. So America saw us through a keyhole rather than a door." Unruly mobs in sweltering heat, photo ops with men who came to power at gunpoint, people dancing in brilliantly colored garb: those were...
...major part of Erhard's legacy to Landmark Education is the repackaging of ancient, valuable teachings into an easily digestible format that reaches into your heart, maybe even into the marrow of your bones, in a brief seminar. (THE REV.) PONDURENGA DAS Berkeley, Calif...

So much so that his lawyers plan a defense based on the separation of church and state, arguing that if the people of God will not rise against him over church business, why should the government?

"When you've done wrong, the Lord is going to forgive you," he says, "but if you get caught taking cookies out of the jar, you've still got to suffer...
...other group, have remained loyal to Clinton through his current ordeal: we've been treating him like one of our own. Just as black voters re-elected Marion Barry to a fourth term as mayor of Washington after his drug conviction, and black parishioners refused to oust the Rev. Henry Lyons from the leadership of the National Baptist Convention after he allegedly embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars, we're sticking with the President come hell, high water, or a new plague of bimbos. As Jesse Jackson, who has become Clinton's Billy Graham, puts it, blacks tend to reject...
