<p>Hearts and Minds The Democrats are losing the heart of their electorate.</p> <p>BY JULIA GORIN Wednesday, December 24, 2003 12:01 a.m.</p> <p>When my husband and I need a respite from the information and commentary overload that New York's top radio talk station, WABC, gives us, we switch the car stereo to WKTU, "the Beat of New York," as its slogan goes. Once a country-music station, the "New KTU" hit the airwaves as a pop station in 1996-playing a mix of dance, Top 40, hip hop and R&B music and filling what was, amazingly, a vacuum in the New York market. The station is a favorite in the city's outer boroughs and New Jersey.</p>

<p>One night last summer, radio host Larry Elder beckoned his listeners to the Ha Ha Cafe in North Hollywood to film a documentary lampooning liberal film maker Michael Moore.</p> <p>Intrigued, producer Eric Peterkofsky showed up for the night's comedy. He listened as comic Jeff Wayne headlined the event with right-wing jokes rarely heard in comedy shows.</p>

<p>There are those, both outside this country and inside, who delighted in the nation's two-day partial blackout. I'm not referring to terrorists and such, who are most likely jealous that something accidental managed to cause this disruption before they could.</p>

Pardon, They're FrenchBy Julia GorinFrontPageMagazine.com | July 29, 2003 Despite the numerous sound and revealing theories that have been proposed over the past year to explain France's confounding geopolitical behavior, they've all missed something fundamental. The country's less than Western, less than ally-like stances would have seemed far less baffling if we hadn't started from a wrong premise: namely, that France is a member of the civilized world.Savages naturally gravitate toward savages. France has a natural affinity for any and all of the globe's uncivilized elements. The more primitive, the better to define one's own deviancy down--a deviancy that once prompted Mark Twain to observe,...

WASHINGTON--Never mind Hillary, her husband, or the book. What about the dog? Julia Gorin started worrying about Buddy, the chocolate Labrador retriever, when he was brought to the White House as a puppy late in 1997. She had heard that Bill Clinton's poll-oriented advisers feared the president would lose his "family man" image when his daughter, Chelsea, went off to college and recommended a dog as prop. A Lab, America's most popular breed, was the obvious choice. Even the color was calculated. Gorin, a dog lover who adopted a pit bull she found discarded on a New York subway platform,...

Insight on the News - Fair Comment Issue: 06/10/03 Fair Comment This White Girl Should Be So Lucky as Times' Jayson BlairBy Julia Gorin Good for Jayson Blair. He milked the New York Times' good intentions for all they were worth. It amounted to four years which, in the Times' union-inflated salary scale, probably comes out to 20 years of income somewhere else. He should be able to retire. In addition to consistent problems with accuracy, tardiness and extended unavailability, the Times' internal investigation of the 27-year-old former reporter found that "he fabricated comments. He concocted scenes. He lifted material...
