Enemy of the Week

The Russians Are Coming and Going

2.22.02

The Current Crisis

Stomping on Barbarians

R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. | 2.22.02

The barbarism committed against the Wall Street Journal’s Danny Pearl would not have surprised Admiral Sir John Fisher.

Washington Prowler

John Edwards Goes to Canosa

The Prowler | 2.22.02

It’s not nice to lose trial lawyer money. Plus: Gephardt samples the left coast. Hillary’s bad air day.

The Virginian

The Other Side

Dave Shiflett | 2.22.02

In Georgia, several hundred bodies have been discovered rotting on the grounds of a crematorium.

Sports Arena

The Boxer Rebellion

James Bowman | 2.22.02

Instead of getting the lesson in honor we have been promised we get yet another history lesson about how bad Nazis and Southern racists were.

Francis X. Rocca | 2.21.02

Washington and Hollywood players are masters of mutual adoration and servility.

Washington Prowler

Scoundrel Time

The Prowler | 2.21.02

Robert Altman should have kept his word. NPR goes the way of East Germany. The White House reaches out to whom?!

Editor’s Desk

Cold Games

Wlady Pleszczynski | 2.21.02

An Olympic parody. What is world war? Bush goes to Korea.

The Current Crisis

Chicken Celebrity

R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. | 2.21.02

It is not just that after years of run-ins with the law — usually involving the abuse of women — Mike Tyson remains in the public eye, free to erupt at any time. It is that there are at least three other famous men in the same very public situation.

Another Perspective

Sexual Credits

George Neumayr | 2.21.02

The University of California’s pursuit of egalitarianism over excellence has reached a new level of lunacy.

Wednesday, February 20, 2002

Washington Prowler

Playing the Percentages

The Prowler | 2.20.02

Editor’s Desk

Shifts in Corporate Scandal Coverage

Wlady Pleszczynski | 2.19.02

Is it too late for Terry McAuliffe to request a pardon from his former boss? Or at least claim executive privilege? What was a Bermuda-based company doing signing deals with the U.S. government? Global Crossing comes into its own.

Political Hay

The Dogs of Reform

2.19.02

Shays-Meehan is as unconstitutional as it is cynical. Before signing campaign finance reform, the President will need to recall he took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States.

At Large

The New Cold War Olympics

John Corry | 2.19.02

Old Cold War warriors knew rapprochement would not last, and it turns out they were right. You may especially count Donald Rumsfeld among them.

Monday, February 18, 2002

Washington Prowler

2.18.02

To listen to some Democrats, they’re essentially accusing Bush Republicans of favoring corporate donors exactly the way Democrats have for years.

Reader Mail

Pet Names

2.18.02

Political animal lovers respond to RET’s call. Plus more good ink about TAP, the Clintons, the South, and Ms. Temptation, a.k.a. as Greta Van Susteren.

Movie Takes

Last Orders

James Bowman | 2.18.02

This actor’s movie by Fred Schepisi gives us a lovely, deeply affecting portrait of ordinary people in the vanishing cockney subculture of East London.
