...over the preservation of free speech in the new interactive media -- a battle that not only raised tricky questions about how to balance openness with good taste, but also managed, on a campus not noted for activism, to rouse something resembling a student protest movement. CMU casts a long shadow in cyberspace. It was one of the first ^ universities to join the Arpanet (the precursor to the Internet) and the first to wire up its dorms. It even provides Internet access to some of its bathrooms. Using the computer networks to spread the word and muster support, the students quickly...
...Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has filed a complaint with the FEC accusing the Christian Coalition and other groups of running "shadow" campaigns for Republican candidates. Coalition spokesmen deny the charges and say they're simply using the same tactics labor unions have long used to mobilize Democrats. "If you're a religious conservative, they try to portray you as some threat to democracy," says Christian Coalition staff member Michael Russell. "All we're seeking is a level playing field."

Long hidden in the shadow of his taller, more charismatic brother, Raul has stepped into the spotlight this year as the champion of economic and agricultural reforms long opposed by Fidel.

In his most important works, such as Mending the Nets, Farndon displays his receptivity to the emptiness of shadow and the seeming endless depth of murky harbor water. His preoccupation with water runs throughout his work and serves as a motif he returns to again and again through his life...
Helmut Kohl and Germany look like a good physical match: the tall, burly Chancellor casts as large a political shadow at home as his powerful country does across the European Continent. While Kohl needed a lot of help from his coalition partners to win a fourth straight four-year term last week, he was the real issue of the campaign. Some posters carried only his portrait, without bothering to mention his name or that of his Christian Democratic Party. Unfazed when popularity polls showed him trailing 11% early this year, he insisted he would still win the national election...
