A critical look at the 1990s surge in soft money funding shows both parties and allied committees raising billions while hard money limits stay strict. The piece argues reform is unlikely without politicians risking their own interests, urging closing the soft money flow to curb systemic buying of influence.
A letter to the editor questions what ACLU stands for and suggests a satirical, offensive reinterpretation. The writer accuses the organization, phrasing it as morally inferior and mocks its intellect. The note reflects a controversial stance without presenting factual details.
On December 16 1773 American colonists dumped tea from British ships protesting tea taxes. Other notes mark Oliver Cromwell becoming lord protector in 1653 and Beethoven’s 1770 birth in Bonn. Also Napoleon’s 1809 divorce and the 1960 midair collision over New York that killed 131.
In Roswell 1972 Levi Detke was appointed to a newly created district office post reflecting greater environmental focus at the Bureau of Land Management. Sean O Neill hosted the Hi Neighbors Christmas party and is a newcomer to Roswell with TV and stage credits including South Pacific The Lucy Show and Wagon Train. Wares Tabernacle Baptist Church Choir performed its annual program at 900 E Deming St with Sister Eo Planter as soloist.
Santa Fe sculptor Veryl Goodnight has realized part of her dream by installing The Day the Wall Came Down at the George Bush Presidential Library Center at Texas A&M University in College Station on October 11 1997. A sister sculpture will fly to Berlin Tempelhof Airport on June 26 1998 to mark the Berlin Airlift's 50th anniversary. The work honors German American friendship and features seven ton horses running to freedom.
The piece argues the Kyoto Protocol should be viewed through a liberal price mechanism framing. It lauds salable emission quotas as a clever way to curb overconsumption without outright bans, comparing the approach to a perverse bin model and market incentives. It notes Japan’s absence of nuclear energy coverage as notable.
As Bill Clinton neared the White House liberals pitched ideas echoing the Heritage Foundation in 1992. The group born with $250,000 from Joseph Coors has grown to 160 staff and a 29 million annual budget. Reagan era reports shaped tax cuts and enterprise zones, fueling a conservative shift seen by Edwin Meese II and Craig Shirley. Mark Green praises Heritage while Fraser criticizes the group as too cozy with labor unions.
Heritage Foundation relies on corporate funding more than novel ideas to influence policy. Its influence extends beyond proposals into staffing for Reagan, with plans to move conservatives into federal roles. Its ideas, from a $500 per child tax credit to crime package analysis, fed the Contract With America and Republican rise.
