...Bushes are saying that moral issues have hurt the party," says TIME Austin bureau chief Sam Gwynne, "and they have broad enough support -- Hispanics, blacks, even Jews -- that they don't necessarily need the religious right." They got it anyway; exit polls indicated that along with everyone else, right-wing voters supported both Bushes. So the GOP may have its player -- but given what's about to happen to California, will he want to run against a stacked deck...
What's going on? Though Coors' profits helped start the conservative Heritage Foundation and still keep right-wing causes afloat, the brewer has bottom-line reasons for behaving more like a commune than a company: its bad reputation with minorities and unions nearly devastated Coors in the early 1980s. A p.r. turnaround was urgently needed. The spending targets for minority vendors, for example, result from a "covenant" the company signed with black and Hispanic groups in 1984 in an effort to make up for a racially charged speech by William Coors, one of the brothers who has worked...
...tough as Wye was, a much worse ordeal awaits: final-status talks, where the issues are harder and the parties infinitely further apart. Wye offered no proof the talks would succeed, but there were surprising hints of new life in the peace process. Netanyahu's right-wing coalition partners are outraged at the deal but have nowhere else to go.

At the center of the play is a young Welsh coal miner, Morgan Evans (Mwashuma Kamata Nyatta), who is taken under the wing of the local teacher, Miss Moffat (played by Dossy Peabody '74), in hopes of obtaining a scholarship to Oxford. In many ways, The Corn in Green can be looked at as a predecessor of the recent blockbuster Good Will Hunting. Yet, The Corn is Green, with its bittersweet ending and multi-faceted...
Although fiscally conservative, the Republican's social stances hardly seem right-wing-he is pro-choice and against the death penalty. The seeming dichotomy is perhaps due to his method of choosing his party affilation...
