This was great for Bauer, who has long labored in the shadow of the other baby-faced Christian activist, Ralph Reed. Yet Bauer professes to be mystified by Dole: "We prayed together in his office recently, and I gave him a lot of help on his Hollywood speech." By making the fight personal, Dole got everyone so caught up in skirmishing that most of the coverage missed the central fact that Dole hasn't changed his commitment to ban most abortions--or the actual party plank--one iota. That's the beauty of making a friend an enemy, however temporarily...
...like the grin of the Cheshire Cat--the cat's gone and only the grin is still here," says Anthony G. Oettinger '51, a member of the Committee on Non-Departmental Instruction. "It's a pale shadow compared to the heyday under [then-president James B. Conant...
With its showy, star-making lead performance by film novice Emily Watson, Breaking the Waves also gave hints that the world's leading festival and much of world cinema were at an identity-crisis point, more than ever lost in Hollywood's long shadow.

The erudite essayist who had written for the Nation and the Jesuit magazine America was also a literary name dropper and vituperative anti-Semite. The right-wing pamphleteer apparently did write speeches for Senator Joe McCarthy, as he claimed, but the speeches may never have been used. The jaunty, confident head of the family most...
...broadcast journalists the legend of Edward R. Murrow and his colleagues who covered World War II for CBS has cast its shadow for more than half a century, and for good reason. Remarkably gifted, remarkably courageous, remarkably ambitious, remarkably young--Murrow was 29 when he was sent to Europe by CBS--this "band of brothers," as Murrow and his group referred to themselves, brought the most dramatic story of the 20th century home to millions of America's radio listeners, and literally created broadcast news in the process...
