...That?s a blow for people like Rev. Ian Paisley, the Protestant rabble-rouser who launched a bitter ?No? campaign against the accord just one day ago. It?s a boost for John Hume and David Trimble, leaders of the more mainstream nationalist and unionist parties, who always said their members were behind the basic principles of this peace. ?It is the best deal available -- warts and all,? Trimble told the BBC Wednesday. And who?s afraid of a few warts like the North-South committee and the decommissioning of weapons? Not the Irish...
...populist so desperate not to be a common man that he peddles a racist ideology that, surprisingly, he doesn't even subscribe to. Gary Sinise, in one of his best performances, portrays the four-term Governor and three-time presidential candidate's Faustian descent from liberal to conservative rabble-rouser as a human tragedy. And director John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Candidate, Birdman of Alcatraz) uses all his old tricks (handheld cameras, black-and-white scenes, jarringly quick cuts and time jumps) along with some newer ones (slipping Sinise, Forrest Gump-style, into real TV footage) to keep the history immediate...
Agnew did not remain obscure for long. Every Vice President must invent a life for himself. Nixon and Agnew played good cop-bad cop.

The 1,600 team won its first-round heat Friday with Anthuan Maybank, Derek Mills, LaMont Smith and Jason Rouser. Johnson had planned to sit out that race. World record holder Butch Reynolds is scheduled to run in later rounds. The women's 400 relay team advanced to the finals and the 1,600 competes in the first round later tonight. Josh Dubow...
...didn't know any other gay freshmen," she says. "I made it my personal mission to go out and seek gay people." On this mission, she met people like Royce Lin '96, the future chair of the BGLSA, and Joshua L. Oppenheimer '96-'97, the future political rabble rouser famous for his campaigns against AALARM, Kenan Professor of Government Harvey C. Mansfield '53, and other symbols of right wing conservatism. The next year, Thomas started accompanying Bill to the meetings, because he wanted someone to share the long walk from the Quad. When the vice chair position became vacant...
