Thus the job of pummeling Buchanan will fall to Bush surrogates, including Vice President Dan Quayle and former Marine Corps Commandant General P.X. Kelley. They will crisscross the South, appealing to the region's patriotism by depicting Buchanan as a neo-isolationist who opposed the Persian Gulf...
...parted company over basic concepts. I'm for the preservation of the union as a country. I'm against what I've described as the pie being sliced up and served with tea. ((Gorbachev doodles on a pad; what emerges is a picture of a pie with crisscross lines through it.)) Who has the right to cut this country into pieces...
Fewer than 10,000 party members remain (though Hall claims 15,000), and some are fomenting revolt from within.

The Ayatullah Khomeini's response to Rushdie is (whatever else it is) an exquisite vindication of Rushdie's point. Khomeini's Iranian revolution was exactly a violent repudiation of the new world that the Shah had sponsored. The struggle throughout the Middle East now is, among other things, a collision between Islam and the temptations and intrusions...
