Hell hath no fury like a guilty and vicious old feudalism dying. The conquest of legal segregation and discrimination in the South is an ugly, heroic American story that ended, officially at least, with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In The Children (Random House; 783 pages; $29.95), David Halberstam takes up the narrative in early 1960, with the lunch-counter sit-ins in Greensboro, N.C., and Nashville, Tenn., that were the debut of a new civil rights generation, most of whose members were younger by five or 10 years...

Coke's peaceful near-conquest of the world is one of the remarkable phenomena of the age. It has put itself (in the phrase of a Coca-Cola executive) "always within an arm's length of desire." And where there is no desire for it, Coke creates desire. Its advertising, which garnishes the world from the edge of the Arctic to the Cape of Good Hope, has created more new appetites and thirsts in more people than an army of dancing girls bearing jugs of wine. It has brought refrigeration to sweltering one-ox towns without plumbing...
...study by UCLA researcher Neil Malamuth found that 50 percent of men surveyed would "force a woman into having sex" if they knew there was no chance of being caught. There exists an unnatural marriage of masculinity to sexual conquest and aggression in the minds of many of our male peers. Surely, the two concepts can be divorced...
...Saddam II, if it does happen, would be nothing like the original--at least not in the stock market. When the Gulf War began, the U.S. was in the throes of a banking crisis and slipping into recession. Saddam was bent on hanging on to his oil-rich conquest. Stocks were down, and oil prices had briefly doubled to $40 per bbl. There was a lot to fight for. This time around, stocks are high and oil is low. The economy is on a historic roll. And Saddam isn't strong enough to upset any of that greatly...
