...with oblivion he blames in part on the fact that his position on the Judiciary Committee required him to second very publicly his party's pro-impeachment line. Two other G.O.P. members who could vote with the Democrats are Mary Bono of California and Lindsey Graham, a conservative South Carolinian who has said from the start he would not impeach the President for merely lying in the Paula Jones deposition. But even wavering Republicans may decide they don't really need to switch sides anyway. Since any articles of impeachment approved by their committee are so likely...
...Glenn would be like a centennial bookend: the last Southern black Republican in Congress was North Carolinian George White, who left office in 1901. In the next 100 years, four other black Republicans would go to Congress. But for the most part the G.O.P., which once commanded black support as the party of Lincoln, earned the opposite image as the party on the wrong side of civil rights.

The court thus became the first in the U.S. to rule that a viable fetus could be considered "a person" under child-abuse laws and that a pregnant woman carrying...
...equally brave stand on a divisive moral issue. Most are far too concerned with raking in endorsement dollars to risk any controversy. In 1990 Michael Jordan, who occupies the psychological spot that Robinson pioneered as the dominant black athlete of his time, declined to endorse his fellow black North Carolinian Harvey Gantt over troglodyte racist Jesse Helms in a close contest for the U.S. Senate on the grounds that "Republicans buy shoes too." More recently, Jordan brushed off questions about whether Nike, which pays him $20 million a year in endorsement fees, was violating standards of decency by paying Indonesian...
