Since the 1988 closing of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, where Martin Luther | King Jr. was assassinated, there have been two constants at the scene: a steady stream of sightseers looking at the unofficial shrine, and the motel's last manager, Jacqueline Smith, who stubbornly refuses to say goodbye to the facility. Night and day, through storm and sunshine, Smith, 39, has camped out in a pup tent in front of the fenced-in property, courteously greeting tourists and adamantly opposing plans to renovate the Lorraine and construct a $9 million Lorraine Civil Rights Museum.

When Bush is still remarkably high in the polls, this demands an explanation. The President's popularity is partly owing to the stream of good news on the economic and international fronts. But since he has barely even tried to put his personal stamp on these happy developments, credit must also go in large part to Bush's personality. He strikes people as a nice guy.

With its cool caves and grassy marshes harboring frogs, Islam Dara is a boy's paradise out of Kipling. But the dozen or so boys who stay there are living an idyll...
ATTEMPTING to do the right thing amid an information blitz, we are like the victims of frequent brainwashing that the philosopher Hannah Arendt describes in an essay on political deceit. Contrary to what some might expect, persons subjected to a stream of media manipulation, instead of believing what ever new they are told, grow less impressionable, more cynical, more inclined to disbelieve everything even as more versions of the truth are fed them...
