...wasn't a demonstration of the power of the people. It shattered the dream of a strong, unified Europe that would counter U.S. supremacy. Gonçalo Marcelo Lisbon Out of the Shadows "Inside Watergate's Last Chapter" [June 13] was a good history lesson for the younger generation, which missed the biggest political scandal of the 20th century. President Richard Nixon and his top aides deliberately flouted the law and lived to regret it, largely because of former FBI official W. Mark Felt, a.k.a. Deep Throat. Revisionists like Pat Buchanan, a former member of Nixon's staff, who would...
...Jennings, Kans., students from kindergarten through high school total about 30 in a single building. Next year only the elementary grades will remain; Grade 6 and up will be bused some 30 miles to Oberlin or Hoxie. It's expected that the younger kids will be bused away as well. "It's beyond fighting," says Sharon Hickert, a loan officer at the Jennings Bank. The bank and a café are the last businesses on the strip.

...directed for theatrical release in 20 years (he announced his retirement after Fanny), is a chamber piece: four characters, 10 dialogues.

And, as Saraband proves, he still...

So while Iran's economically disadvantaged classes, Islamic militias and web of religious social-action groups provided Ahmadinejad with 62% of the votes, Rafsanjani could muster only 36% in a country almost evenly split along ideological lines and where many younger people--more than 50% of the population--want liberalization. "I know a government by Ahmadinejad will mean regressing to the fiery days of the revolution," says Sepideh Ahmadlou, 24, who works for a software company. "But I couldn't bring myself to go and vote for Rafsanjani...
...became one of the nation's greatest Presidents. Douglass spent the first 20 years of his life as a slave, had no formal schooling--in fact, his masters forbade him to read or write--and became one of the nation's greatest writers and activists. Though nine years younger, Douglass overshadowed Lincoln as a public figure during the 15 years before the Civil War. He published two best-selling autobiographies before the age of 40, edited his own newspaper beginning in 1847 and was a brilliant orator--even better than Lincoln--at a time when public speaking was a major...
