...fact, Jenkins was born in Wales, the son of an ambitious coal miner who was later a Labor M.P. But to counter the carpetbagging label, Jenkins sounded a decidedly Scottish note in his campaign speeches as time went on. He pledged that he would spend "the rest of my political life" representing Hillhead, and that he would not dash away to a safer English constituency at the first chance to move south. He supported the granting of greater autonomy for Scotland, including the formation of a regional assembly with authority to tax and with substantial legislative power. Jenkins pledged...
...idea of his label achieving such wide circulation might reduce Armani stock in the snob market, but that would be fine with him. His clothes, from the beginning, have mocked that kind of lofty social stratification; they have always been meant, in every sense of the word, to be loose. They should be an ideal within easy reach.

The new ruling, said OSHA's Michael Volpe, will help protect some 9 million workers from toxic hazards in the workplace...
Some links in Wills' chain of reasoning are obviously speculative, although he does not always label them as such. To show the Kennedy brothers unknowingly destroying themselves, in bedrooms and strategy sessions, he must assume much and exclude even more. J.F.K.'s attempts to circumvent the federal bureaucracy are recalled in detail and condemned. His use of a loyal cadre of White House advisers set a futile precedent: "The real impact of Kennedy on his successors was not so much an inflation of the office they succeeded to, but the doomed way they imitated his attempt to rule...
