Right-wing columnists like Charles Krauthammer [ESSAY, Sept. 22] have two essential responses to critics of President Bush's policies: 1) You're unpatriotic; 2) you're mad. In his commentary, Krauthammer doesn't indict me on the first count, but he does lump me in with a crowd of Democrats he describes as "seized with a loathing for President Bush--a contempt and disdain giving way to a hatred that is near pathological." However, what I feel as the result of President Bush's policies is sadness. I'm not mad at his "revolutionizing American foreign policy" or that...
That was one recession and a few corporate scandals ago. Now, faster than you can say Ken Lay--and, more to the point, faster than the feds can indict him--prime time is again daring to suggest that there are classes in America. There are sitcoms with working-class leads and teen soaps and reality shows with prince-and-pauper themes. Above all, there are wealthy folks cheating and stealing and being humiliated--no fewer than three new series have characters who are in hot water with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). And they said Martha Stewart's influence...
...back [to detention]," he told an astonished Schneider. In addition to helping Saddam hide a fortune that U.S. investigators think could be anything from $2 billion to $7 billion or more, Barzan served from 1979 to 1983 as head of Iraqi intelligence, an organization notorious for its brutish tactics. Indict, a British human rights group, claims it can produce up to 30 witnesses to support various allegations against Barzan. Among them: he helped direct the murder of thousands of rebellious Iraqi Kurds in 1983, and he personally visited beatings, electroshock and executions on Iraqi prisoners...
...public figure ever had more near-death experiences than Hillary Clinton, or risen further from the ashes? In the White House, she first stonewalled, haughtily dismissing her detractors as politically motivated. That worked to a point. A raft of grand juries declined to indict her for anything: not Whitewater, not Castle Grande, not missing billing records, not cattle futures. She occasionally leavened her approach with, well, a touch of Martha, giving a tour of the mansion at Christmas showcasing homemade ornaments, gushing over the pastry chef as he prepared a State Dinner, going on a heritage tour with Ralph Lauren...
...early 1990s made just over $1 billion from an alleged fraud by Crédit Lyonnais involving a failing insurer, Executive Life, and then conspired to hide the true details. Pinault vigorously denies the charges. Second, there's a federal grand jury that's considering whether to indict him for the same fraud. "He has got very significant legal problems here in America," says Gary Fontana, the lead attorney representing the Department of Insurance. Because Crédit Lyonnais at the time was state-owned, the French government has agreed to indemnify it - but not necessarily Pinault...
