The clash over civil rights and preferences in US policy

In a Los Angeles seminar, Ward Connerly warned of a culture war over whether civil rights belong to individuals or groups, while Clinton named Bill Lan Lee for acting deputy AG for civil rights amid partisan battles. Republicans split over affirmative action, wary of political cost, as House Republicans blocked a bill to end racial preferences. The piece argues for individual rights and questions group-based rights in federal programs.

Clinton the great politician and the art of crime

Syndicated columnist Sobran critiques Bill Clinton as a superb political tactician whose scandals and Asian connections are examined with caustic humor. The piece links Clinton’s cunning to criminal artistry, notes Arlington Cemetery plots controversy, and ends by reflecting on celebrity and presidential exposure.

Far‑flung critique of Clinton foreign policy

Feder argues that U S interventions in Bosnia and Haiti were driven by panicked altruism rather than vital interests. He claims missteps include late responses to massacres, propping up ineffective regimes, and diverting military resources to idealistic missions. He warns of eroding credibility and urges a pragmatic, interest‑driven U S strategy.
