White Southerners tend to share his extreme hawkishness and his distaste for civil rights schemes like affirmative action.

Only Star Wars, The Magnificent Seven, The War of the Worlds, The Right Stuff, Strange Invaders, Eddie and the Cruisers and Plan 9 from Outer Space mixed and mismatched as if by a mad scientist in his Late Show lab.

It seemed to many Hondurans that Washington might be angling to resolve its differences with Nicaragua privately, peaceably, and over their heads. "At the insistence of the U.S., Honduras has been taking a hard line," points out a Honduran political scientist. "And now we're being made to look like fools...
