What is explicit in "don't ask, don't tell" is that the danger of homosexuality lies, somehow, in the aspect of public acknowledgment. The concern seems to be that fellow soldiers will respond negatively to knowing that they are training and living in intimate environments with gay men. As Thomasson expressed in his appeal, the foundation of the policy is "the expected adverse reaction that some heterosexual listeners may have" to discovering the homosexuality of members of the armed services. In its brief encouraging the Supreme Court not to hear the Thomasson appeal, Clinton administration justified the policy...
Muted. Our message, which was supposed to be delivered to the nation at the Latino March on October 12, received apathetic media coverage. Although we somehow briefly made it to the front pages of the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, the overall television and newspaper coverage was not substantive enough to voice the full effect of the march. We wonder why it takes thousands of people converged at the front of the White House to prove that we exist...
...deluded if you think that calling me and other Peninsula staffers "reactionaries" will somehow make our position illegitimate. This great nation was founded by wise reactionaries like James Madison, who wrote the Constitution to protect us against innovative power-mongers and their diseased ideologies, which in our century have led other nations down the road to gas chambers and prison camps.

...elect their own kind. What's going on? Simply, the Senate is not the presidency.

Does this indicate that California would do the same for the presidency? No. For the same reason black representation in the House is not a good indicator of their representation in the Senate, the Senate...
Turow obviously cares about Sonny and Seth and the lost possibilities they might somehow redeem, so much so that he cannot give his main characters the ironic distance their actions seem to require. This triumph of the heart over the head is a weakness concealing a strength. For The Laws of Our Fathers gathers considerable emotional power toward the end. The funeral of Seth's father, a Holocaust survivor and once the bane of his rebellious son's existence, calls together a number of the novel's main characters plus a cross-section of Kindle County, old and young, black...
