...that he flew from Little Rock to Boston to tutor Dukakis staff members on the wisdom and methods of rapid response. But no one listened until it was too late; Dukakis thought the ads about furloughed killer Willie Horton did not need to be answered simply because they were stupid and wrong, ignoring the fact that they were devastating. By the time he ran in 1992, Clinton had learned that brazen replies were key to political success. The War Room operation in Little Rock, set up after the Democratic Convention at Hillary Clinton's behest, was mostly a quick-response...

First-years were randomized even though everyone else complained and advocated against it. These past two issues have made me come to love the overwhelming and scary power students...
...decade seems ridiculous in retrospect, its absurdities left exposed after the smoke has cleared. In memory, the '70s seem wincingly stupid--that idiot disco music, those haircuts, those shirts and ties. Why pick...
