...Fall of the Great Powers, advises those who fret about this to relax; he thinks the bonds can afford to stretch a little now that the Soviet Union has fallen, because we can be confident they would snap back in the face of a real threat. But Michael Howard, former British Home Secretary, has just started a new group, Atlantic Partnership, precisely because he fears the alliance may suffer permanent damage from a rising tide of special-interest squabbles. Rudolf Scharping, the German Defense Minister, recently declared that the E.U. must set its security policy toward Russia. Americans noticed...
...have rounded up every surviving video of "Dances With Wolves." We could have turned the Guggenheim and Whitney museums upside down and shaken them lightly, and - to the net gain of civilization - offered up dozens of works to the Taliban's immolation. We might have offered up Marilyn Manson, Howard Stern, Regis Philbin and the entire...
...That's one of the reasons why thoughtful blacks in higher education like H. Patrick Swygert, president of Howard University, aren't willing to jettison the SAT.

As a consequence, Howard (where my dad taught for 40 years) has been raising...
During a 1970 protest at St. Louis University, Howard Mechanic lobbed a cherry bomb at police and firefighters. He fled to Arizona and began a new life as a businessman.

But in Clinton's haste to process so many pleas, he signed a pardon letter that contained a typo and ended up clearing Mechanic of the wrong charge...

Still, he definitely qualifies as an adult, if by nothing other than age. When I was eight, much like Howard Stern's kids, I thought that 20-year-olds were really experienced, knowledgeable, grown-up people. Forty-year-olds were ancient. But now I live in a world where Britney Spears is younger than I am. Almost six months...
