...victims. Last week's toll was added to the count of Christian teens killed at Columbine and three students killed at a 1997 prayer circle in West Paducah, Ky. Many evangelical leaders have begun to see "committed Christians" as the latest victims of hate crimes of the sort perpetrated upon blacks, women and gays. They have also begun to view those attacks in terms of the history of their faith--as acts of Satan, and as part of a persecution that stretches back to the earliest days of Christianity, during which countless believers suffered and died for professing their faith...
Marcelo Rodriguez may be the only person in Los Angeles complaining of too much exposure. The Beverly Hills policeman had the dubious honor of arresting GEORGE MICHAEL in a public bathroom last year after the singer performed a "lewd act" upon himself. As if that image weren't scarring enough, Rodriguez says he then had to watch himself mocked in Michael's video Outside, in which men dressed as cops danced and kissed each other.

But soon after the Chinese negotiators arrive in the capital, House majority whip Tom Delay is planning to wave a red flag, introducing a pro-Taiwan arms resolution on the House floor. Other GOP leaders, including Senate majority leader Trent Lott, have also signaled that politics is not right for a China vote this year. And though that...
...financial issues but also what could politely be called a credibility gap ? the shadow of Quayle?s infamous "potatoe" gaffe and his talent for the non-sequitur ("Had I known I was going to Latin America, I would have studied up on my Latin.") In bowing out, he bestows upon the rest of the GOP pack ? aside from Steve Forbes ? the privilege of mortgaging their lives for a chance to run against George W. Bush and the opportunity to pick up a small band of supporters...
