...yarn during first-year orientation week, but the spirit of the game lived on. At Annenberg and in the Yard, we mindlessly mixed and mingled until finally, perhaps around November, the game finally ended. Not because it was replaced by a particular aversion to new friendships, but because most of us had settled comfortably into one or more meaningful social circles forged over time...
...their work might bring a woman of any political stripe to the Oval Office. Wilson didn't answer that part of my question, so I'm still wondering. I don't think I can support the White House Project for its non-partisan approach, though I admire its cooperative spirit, but I will support such organizations as Emily's List, which works to elect liberal women to public office at all levels. With any luck, before too long we'll have a woman president who's also a liberal, maybe even one of the talented and principled women...
...respect the astute and rigorously unsentimental David Horowitz as one of America's most original and courageous political analysts. He has the true 1960s spirit: audacious, irreverent, yet passionately engaged and committed to social change. I regard him as an important contemporary thinker who is determined to shatter partisan stereotypes and defy censorship wherever it occurs--notably, in this case, in the area of discourse on race, which is befogged with sanctimony and hypocrisy.

Last Sunday?s elections in the former East German state of Thuringia saw Schroeder?s party not only turfed...
...trick is simply to spend $12 billion or so in a phantom month between fiscal 2000 (the year currently being budgeted) and fiscal 2001. That, folks like Specter are hoping, will be enough to cover a few more necessaries without violating the letter of the 1997 agreement. The spirit of that deal lies in tatters, of course; creative lawmakers have already have exempted nearly $28 billion in proposed spending from the caps ? largely through "emergency" spending ? even with only a 12-month year. That might be too expedient, even for the Beltway. "There are those in both parties...
