A reader argues that Bill Clinton is unfaithful and questions the shift in political norms regarding fidelity. The piece contrasts Clinton with Nixon, notes past attacks on family values, and closes with a snake parable attributed to a Samuel Taylor Coleridge quote.
The Democrat-Gazette traced Clinton’s Arkansas memory of church burnings, finding no records of such incidents in the state. The editor and Arkansas History Commission backed the claim, accusing Clinton of political manipulation and demanding an apology.
California police chiefs, PORAC, CSSA, CHP, CAC and other groups endorse Proposition 213, the Personal Responsibility Act of 1996, aiming to bar felons from suing victims or bystanders for non economic damages while protecting law abiding drivers from large pain and suffering awards. The measure preserves medical and wage loss recovery for illegal drivers.
By Herb Peters, the piece argues that the Sphinx symbolizes humanity’s search for a missing link both in myth and in spirituality. It contrasts mythic beast-man ideas with biblical teaching, citing Jesus and John the Baptist to present Jesus as the true missing link from heaven.
Jane Harvey argues in a probing political commentary that the 104th Congress, dominated by Republicans, achieved notable budget cuts and agency eliminations while failing to override President Clinton’s vetoes.
