Sept. 5 — I thought August would be a languorous time on the White House beat. It turns out that the Democratic National Committee had plans for me and the rest on the Bush beat. While President Bush and Congress were away, the DNC’s top man, Terry McAuliffe, decided it was time to play politics, by stepping up a public-relations campaign over the Internet. He hired three former Clinton staffers to run his press shop, put them to work unearthing the e-mail addresses of all the White House press corps and lined up a stable of Democratic experts primed ...

By Robert Tracinski First the good news: The new administration's officials in the Department of Justice have decided not to murder the Microsoft Corporation and carve up its corpse. Now the bad news: They have chosen the more humane option of slow torture. The Justice Department's new policy is certainly better — or, to be more accurate, less bad — than the demands made by the Clinton administration. The old Justice Department wanted to hack Microsoft to pieces, splitting it into two or three companies and placing its Windows operating system under the control of court-appointed regulators and envious ...

Harare – It has been reported that President Thabo Mbeki walked out of a meeting of Southern African rulers in Zimbabwe after militant leaders rejected the Abuja accord , which aims to restore political and economic stability to the country. Mbeki was apparently also angered when it was claimed that the British government wrote the speech delivered by Malawi President Bakili Muluzi. However, Mbeki’s spokesperson, Bheki Khumalo, said the president’s temporary withdrawal had no "significance". He did not elaborate. Muluzi said on Monday that regional leaders did not dispute the need for land reform in Zimbabwe, but were alarmed ...

<p>Organic chemistry, Dostoevsky, the Metaphysics of Morals. These are the things parents expect to hear when they ask their kids what they're learning at college.</p> <p>But a course called "How to Be Gay?" Or Columbia University's "Pirates, Boys and Capitalism," which uses the image of a pirate to explore colonialism and homosexuality? How about an Arizona State University course where the students watch classic porn films like Deep Throat and Insatiable?</p>

To the Jews of Judea, Samaria, Gaza: ?p?For years, you have been abused by the media, disgraced and demonized at every opportunity. The world has assaulted your integrity, while our enemies have attacked you physically, accusing you of stealing their land and occupying their territory. Our own government, at times, has threatened you with forced evacuation, compelling you to live with unimaginable anxiety and incredible uncertainty. ?p??b?But I want you to know, I want each and every one of you to hear this: you are nothing less than modern-day heroes, sacrificing safety and physical comfort to reclaim the Land ...

It will be very easy for you to say, "Well, I will do something, some day. When I can afford it, I am going to." But would you let an old "grad" tell you one thing now? Giving is a habit. Get into the habit now, because you will never be able to afford to give and contribute, thus to repay the obligation you owe to those people who made this college possible, if you wait until you think you can afford it. Start now regardless of how small, and in the days to come when you are confronted with ...

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was willing but Sir Paul McCartney wasn't. "I don't pose for pictures with anyone," the ex-Beatle told The News' Richard Corkery when our photographer asked him for a shot with New York's junior senator. The two were appearing at the fourth annual Redbook Mothers & Shakers Awards lunch at Avery Fisher Hall, where Clinton was the keynote speaker and honoree. McCartney arrived with fiancée Heather Mills. But later in the greenroom, when no photographers were around, McCartney found a piano, sat down and started to play. Hillary found room on the seat beside him, and the ...

<p>One of the most deeply ingrained beliefs of the first President Bush was that politics should stop at the water's edge. The second President Bush can't afford such a quaint illusion, so redolent of the glory days of bipartisan defense policy. Bush the Younger, after all, governs in the age of the Putin Democrats.</p>

Because the socialist media insists on polling for propaganda purposes I've taken the time to survey Americans once again. With phone, paper and pencil, I randomly called 510,014 people last night. Without the Madison Avenue slickness of the socialist press' questions, I was able to obtain accurate results. These findings could shock the system of those who've always swallowed the swill the media has spoon-fed the populace. The politically correct will find about 80 percent of all black respondents to be radically conservative; the average Jew worse, yet; and other Americans to be off the charts. I provide this warning ...

TRENTON, Sept. 10 — National Democrats today fired the first shot in the air war of the New Jersey governor's race, unveiling a television advertisement that attacks the Republican record over the last eight years in Trenton, where the Republican Party has controlled both the governor's office and the State Legislature. The ad's voice-over begins in an ominous tone: "1993: Republicans take control of Trenton; the governor's office; the Legislature. They said they'd make us No. 1. Well, eight years later we are No. 1 — No. 1 in the cost of auto insurance; No. 1 in property taxes; No. ...
