...media interviews President Clinton lives to regret once his term is over, few will rank as high as last week's conversation on trade with the Seattle Post Examiner. In a hotel-room conversation with the paper's Michael Paulson while anti-WTO demonstrations raged outside, Clinton casually suggested that the U.S. should ultimately impose sanctions on nations that violate a set of core labor standards...

Granted, the term "Chekovian Christian" does seem a bit much, and it is used ad naseum by West. One can read the entire book and still be confused as to the exact definition of "Chekovian Christian."
