...different groups different messages. Look at his new welfare bill. To citizens who wanted to streamline the bureaucracy, Clinton goes so far as to say he has "overhauled the welfare system." To Jesse Jackson and liberal democrats (to make sure he doesn't distance any voters), Clinton promises to revisit the bill after he gets elected to reattach many of the benefits he just...
While I was making my way through yesterday's New York Times, an article on page four caught my attention. Its headline read, "Nazi Case Forces Italy to Revisit Sore Subject," and it concerned the upcoming retrial of Erich Priebke, a Nazi war criminal responsible for the murders of 355 Italian civilians.

It is better to revisit the elections of Israeli Prime Ministers like Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir and U.S. Presidents like Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.

Even Yasser Arafat proved that one can work toward peace under proper circumstances and receive a Nobel Peace Prize. Instead of being sarcastic about it, let us congratulate the people of Israel who elected Netanyahu...
...imminent should death be? How do physicians make sure a patient is mentally competent and really wants to die? What alternatives should be suggested? What sort of counseling is appropriate? The American Medical Association presently frowns upon doctors who participate in patient suicide. Now it has announced plans to revisit the matter. --Reported by Jenifer Mattos and Andrea Sachs/New York
