...debate around these books runs like this. Jewish neo-conservatives who admire Robertson's staunch support for Israel have come to his defense in the wake of the ADL report and similar articles that have appeared recently in the New York Review of Books. They are willing to indulge Robertson (what they perceive to be) his theological idiosyncrasies so long as he gets the important issue, Israel, correct. For example, a prominent Jewish neo-conservative, Midge Decter, has written a scathing critique of the ADL study in a recent issue of Commentary...
...Even staunch defenders of free speech admit that cyberspace has red-light districts unsuitable for young Elroy Jetson. And there's no bouncer to keep out minors. Sexual content is scattered throughout Usenet, the collection of more than 5,000 special-interest public forums on the Internet, and accessible as well to users of large commercial providers such as America Online.

The prospect may impel Unionists to consider the more flexible tactics the framework offers...
Gramm is neither Speaker of the House nor majority leader of the Senate. His place in the revolution's vanguard was secured by virtue of his role as the True Believer, a title he alone can claim among his presidential rivals. He would have voters see him as the staunch ideologue whose time has finally come, an uncompromising conservative even in the darkest days of Democratic hegemony. In announcing his candidacy, Gramm played up his co-authorship of the ill-fated Gramm-Rudman deficit-reduction plan, as well as his unbending resistance to the Clinton health-care plan. In these...
