...that say “Jews not allowed” in their windows, even if those signs are only meant to express the idea that Jews should not be allowed. But again, beyond legality, we do not find it acceptable for the Ku Klux Klan to march in Skokie, Ill., because it has the highest concentration of Holocaust survivors in the country. We don’t make it illegal, but we protest, chastise and exert social pressure to make clear that behavior of that sort is unacceptable...
Some people look south of the Yucatan and see poverty and underdevelopment. Robert Petterson sees roads and bridges to be built and land to be cleared for modern housing and industry--all with the yellow earthmovers and other heavy equipment made by Caterpillar, based in Peoria, Ill. A quarter of the firm's $21.2 billion annual revenues comes from exports, but not enough of it from Latin America, thanks in part to tariffs that can reach 30%.

...Monday McCain was killed by a friend, on Tuesday it was his turn to kill one. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, fellow war hero, was one of the only Senators at McCain's side during his ill-fated presidential bid. Yet now he was the one standing in McCain's way.

But the Israelis, who in the first intifadeh suffered the ill p.r. effects of pictures of their soldiers firing on rock-throwing protesters, have learned that a measured message of victimhood is important to the well armed too. In the early days of this intifadeh, the Israeli government benefited from horrific images of the mob lynching of two Israeli soldiers...
...remember the mingled smells of hot dogs, popcorn and beer that haunted the cool corridors, the big guys hawking programs. I remember the sense of excitement I felt as we made our way to our seats (always located in the family section, a custom that left me ill-prepared for the drunkenness and profanity I later encountered in the bleachers at big-city ballparks). I remember the July sun beating down, and the cheers of fans, happy to be watching their Pirates play ball...
