Beloved will wreak much mischief as she befriends the three living residents of this haunted house, sparking jealousy, infidelity and finally scandal among the good ladies of the emerging black middle class. In Sethe, who believes her to be her dead child revived, Beloved cues the brutal hierarchy of a mother's love...
...wife and I, who not that long ago were suspected of being part of The Eastern Media Elite, have been transformed into The American People. Surveys on the White House scandal reflect our views precisely. When the Sunday talk-show commentators whom I refer to as the Sabbath Gasbags pontificate confidently on how The American People are going to respond, the Gasbags are always wrong. In January my wife and I sometimes had to wait for a survey result to find that out. Not anymore. We now realize...
...sorts of numbers that explain why the President's approval ratings are of little comfort to Democrats. For now, at least, only the most desperate Republican candidates seem inclined to try to turn the election into a referendum on the President's behavior.

During the 20 months from the beginning of 1973 until Richard Nixon resigned in August 1974, 128 polls asked Americans whether they thought the President should leave office. But in the mere nine months since the Lewinsky scandal broke, according to Don Ferree of the Roper Center, pollsters have asked that question more than 325 times. A Gallup poll this month finds that nearly two-thirds of Americans want their Representatives to stick close to American public opinion when deciding on impeachment rather than do what they think...
