...America dotted with cinderblock Romes and girdered Spartas like some overgrown theme park. Rather, this extraordinary book attempts to rebuild the Roman civitas and the Greek polis as much in our selves as in our surroundings. It proposes to break down walls and open up spaces to reveal vistas too long blocked off from view. And even if this book causes no cities to be razed or rebuilt, it will surely broaden avenues in its readers' minds
History shows that the demands of war often reveal special qualities in Presidents not easily detected in the babble of a political campaign. For 5 1/ 2 months Bush went down a straight road to battle. There have been no black moods for Bush as there were for John F.

When Manuel Noriega was apprehended, some commentators wondered whether he would ever really be brought to trial, given what he might reveal about his long association with former CIA Director George Bush. They were right to wonder. With the revelation -- mysteriously leaked to CNN -- that the U.S. government has been eavesdropping on Noriega's conversations with his lawyers, the prosecution may have opened the door for Noriega to walk, untried, to a relaxing life in exile...
