...safe bet their candidate won't echo John F. Kennedy's exhortation to "pay any price, bear any burden." Instead, Thomas Jefferson's warning against entangling alliances is back in fashion. Reston endorses John Quincy Adams' injunction to go "not abroad in search of monsters to destroy," while Hyland offers his own version: "The enemy is not at the gate, but it may already be inside...
...also prefers a looser definition of "low fat" than the one favored by the FDA. The tough FDA standard, charges Gary Wilson of the National Cattlemen's Association, would mean that "you won't have any meat items being able to meet the criteria." Such an impossible standard would destroy the incentive for the meat industry to produce reduced-fat beef and pork, says Wilson, and the USDA is inclined to agree.

Last Monday both Slovenia and Croatia vowed to declare independence by midweek. Yugoslav federal Prime Minister Ante Markovic warned, "We would find ourselves sitting on a bomb, which could destroy us all." His words proved prophetic.

...through another redesign, it could be the end of the century before the station is ever built. I believe this is the space station for us to build.

Again, this attack on the station was an attack on manned spaceflight. If Freedom is killed, it will set back space exploration -- both manned and with robots -- at least a generation. We've got to walk through this door to find...
...Scouts do not now number many present or future atheists and homosexuals among their members. Curran was gay and a scout. Elliott Welsh evolved agnostic views shortly after leaving the scouts. Their participation in scouting did not keep them from choosing their lives and values, nor did their participation destroy scouting. What is most troubling in the Boy Scouts' new emphasis on privacy is the hint that the group serves as a retreat for parents who dislike the diverse and tolerant world of today. But that is the world their children will grow up to live in tomorrow...
