...splendid poem called "1 September 1939," which, in the original version, he ended with the line, "We must love another, or die." He expunged the line in later editions, judging, rightly, that it rang false, sentimental. I do not think it is the business of the law to tell us, "We must love one another, or else." Nor is it the business of law to forbid us to hate one another...
...culminating in quietly defiant practices among moderates. "Many Southern Baptists view their affiliation with the church as primarily cultural, rather than religious," says Van Biema. This deep connection with the church, he explains, makes it much less likely that there will be a massive, formalized exodus. Only time will tell, of course, if the church's rightward shift will cause serious damage.

Cleveland, a bachelor but an improbable rake, acknowledged the child, for whom he had provided support payments to Maria Halpin all along.

Dana wrote: "We do not believe that the American people will knowingly elect to the Presidency a coarse debauchee who would bring his harlots with him to Washington, and hire lodgings for them convenient to the White House." By October the Nation judged: "Party contests have never before reached so low a depth of degradation as this." The Democrats...
...involved, the revelations certainly leave egg on the face of Energy Secretary Richardson, who ordered a dramatic tightening up of security after the Wen Ho Lee spying allegations were first aired last year. Los Alamos officials painted a somewhat chaotic picture of security arrangements around the classified material, telling CNN it was unclear whether the material had been inadvertently destroyed, stolen or lost, and that it was difficult to track down the missing data because record-keeping is so unorganized that was difficult to tell who might have legitimately signed out the classified disks...
