...sure, Coulter's historical efforts can be highly amateurish. Her writings on the Civil War--she calls Confederate soldiers "a romantic army of legend"--could only be penned by a (Northern) dilettante. And although she has admiringly cited the work of cold war historian Ronald Radosh, he says she misinterpreted that period in Treason. "There were Soviet spies in postwar America," he says. "But McCarthy was really a nutcase ... She's like the McCarthy-era journalists in a way. She's just repeating what they said, that the only patriotic Americans are on the right." Radosh, a fellow...
...February Coulter went to Washington to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the premier annual event for movement conservatives. When she arrived, the Atrium Hall at the Ronald Reagan Building was hot with anticipation. Activists occupied every inch of available floor space; hundreds stood in the back. Wearing an ankle-length fur and a wide-eyed expression, Coulter had to be pushed through the crowd by a team of handlers. When she swept past the spot I was wedged into, the young men near me went aflutter. "Ann Coulter should be staying on our floor!" one said lasciviously...
...Another reflection: The calendar said April 11, 2005 but the day, as it unfolded in Fenway, belonged as firmly to 2004 as Ronald Reagan's funeral, Shrek2, the Presidential election and the moment that Dave Roberts stole second base in the ninth inning of Game Four.

Roberts, a half-season Sox, plays for San Diego now, but had elected to be in Beantown rather than in Chicago on Monday, helping...
...arrest had been issued. Meese's trouble started two weeks ago, when a municipal court clerk in Los Angeles accidentally discovered the five-year-old warrant while scanning computer records. The top cop, it seems, had committed the crime of jaywalking in 1980, right in front of Ronald Reagan's California campaign headquarters. His fine: $10. When Meese, then Reagan's chief of staff, did not pay the penalty, it automatically increased to $130.50, and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest. The matter was then apparently forgotten...
...truckers can always enjoy pork tenderloin, biscuits and the latest gossip, diners were abuzz about how Maclin Davis, a Nashville lawyer, had accumulated options to buy 4,000 acres around Haynes Haven farm. A few residents had mixed emotions. "I will hate to see the farmlands torn up," said Ronald Woody, assistant principal of Spring Hill High School, but he was happy that the GM plant would force the county to build a new high school. The current one was completed in 1937 by the New Deal's Works Progress Administration...
