...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. Agnew created his role as a menacing though semisatirical rabble-rouser of the much-maligned love-it-or-leave-it Silent Majority of Americans who wished, against their mounting disquiet, to believe in their government's war.

...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...
...agreement allowing us to run Zyuganov free of the old dogma, to give him room to maneuver," says Kuptsov. "But there are always tensions in so large a coalition." That is perhaps why Zyuganov so often looks uncomfortable at his own rallies. When backers like Victor Anpilov, a rabble-rouser, promise to fight "to the last ounce of blood" to restore the old order, you can almost see Zyuganov wince...
