…Byrd’s Senate seat. And he is a Democrat. Regrettably we have a very long list of names from which to trade out for Adams’ list of victims of overheated rhetoric and political assassination: John Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy… As I look out over the wasteland of current political speech, and the difficult terrain lying before this Republic in the next two years, it is Adams’ final line to which I keep returning.

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…en rough contemporaries like Toni Morrison and Cornel West, to this august list of American spiritualists-in-letters—was ultimately a psalmist of the human spirit. He was, as we would now say, “spiritual (or sacred), not religious.” But then, in his judgment, that’s what democracy is all about.

The paper urged readers to kill those on the list. A Ugandan court ruling prevented the paper from publishing more names. Hopefully, Kato’s death will serve as a wake-up call to conservative evangelicals in the U.S. who have attempted to wash their hands o…

…5 foot-longs, and our tremendous fiscal discipline. Friedman likely made a list of 50 things that could possibly explain the Arab revolutions and was too uncritical of his own consciousness to realize his own bias. He then pulled as many of these reasons as he could fit into his regular column. But Friedman shortchanged China (he sort of got that), and missed both Turkey and MTV’s Jersey Shore. China In the last 10 years, as we’ve been bogged down…
