...siren song now. "We should aim our strategy primarily at disaffected Democrats, at blue-collar workers, and at working-class ethnics," Buchanan told Nixon, according to Nixon's 1978 memoir. As a speechwriter, Buchanan used Vice President Spiro Agnew as a kind of ventriloquist's dummy for his white-hot resentments of the political and media establishment. "We would never trust such powers over public opinion in the hands of an elected government--it is time we questioned it in the hands of a small and unelected elite...
...more important revelations were implicit. After 15 years in the white-hot limelight, Diana's perfect p.r. pitch has become her best weapon. From the melancholy kohl-rimmed eyes to the hesitant body language, from the lack of spite (she'll take "half" the responsibility for the split) to the deference to the Prince ("I await my husband's decision" about a divorce), Diana played her part with great cunning, showing that when she says she won't go easily, she means...
...white-hot English designer John Galliano, meanwhile, was the chief prophet of another theme in the fall collections: Hollywood-inspired '40s retro glamour.

It also proved the only stat that baseball's millionaire players and multimillionaire owners really care about is the bottom line...
...revolution in engineering, manufacturing and management has been proceeding in fits and starts since the mid-1980s at all three companies. Now it is finally starting to work. The evidence is found in a new generation of products: cars like Chrysler's white-hot LH sedans and Ram pickups, Ford's Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln Mark VIII, GM's Cadillac STS, the new Chevy Camaro and the Honda- and Toyota-killer Saturn...
