Guiteau (Joseph Nuccio '00) is a sleazy, wheeling-dealing character out to promote his book and acquire the ambassadorship to France, complete to the shiny suit and slicked-back hair. He constantly encourages Leon Czologsz (Rodrigo Chazaro '99), a disgruntled immigrant whose complaints parody the labor movement of the first half of the century. The scenes featuring these two are frequently juxtaposed with those involving Sam Byck (Kenneth Weber), a man obsessed with the right to protest...

The cover of the March 24 issue of the National Review features the President, First Lady and Vice-President as Asian caricatures replete with buck teeth and slanted eyes.

On an FBI wiretap recording soon after the attack, Fortier boasted to a friend of making money by being the government's star witness.

Sales soared, but Ticketmaster was unappreciative. Microsoft ought to add an irony link; it was the Seattle band...
...that the decision will strengthen the industry's hand in the ongoing cash-for immunity negotiations between cigarette makers and state attorneys general. The industry would pay a large sum, perhaps as much as $300 billion, and agree to numerous restrictions on advertising and sales in order to settle suits by 24 states. With the verdict, Big Tobacco also temporarily shooed away the specter of Norwood "Woody" Wilner, who to date has won the only cash award from a tobacco company, a $750,000 judgment from Brown & Williamson for another Jacksonville smoker who developed lung cancer. That case, as well...
