Yet Another Reasonable and Thoughtful Environmental Analysis "In sports,
tonight's game between the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox was called
off when Chicago was blanketed with impenetrable smog....Meteorologist Yojio
Matsuma says the smog originated 1,000 miles away in the Saskatchewan prairie
fires, which have seared several thousand square miles since lightning storms
sparked an area left tinder-dry by a three-week heat wave and an unusually dry
spring....Meanwhile, the commissioner's office says it is not yet ready to
consider a resumption of day games, which were eliminated 15 years ago
following widespread increases in skin cancer and immune diseases due to the
depletion of the ozone layer." "By many measures,
human activity since 1950 has damaged the planet more than in all previous
history."
Doubting Yeltsin vs. Doubting Gorbachev Doubt Cast on Yeltsin
POW Claim Aide Says Russian President Referred Only to 'Possibilities' Yeltsin: Gorbachev hid
GIs' graves
Better Off Under Noriega? "It seems to me
[for Bush] to go to Panama, which is hardly the site of a great American
victory -- they were better off under Noriega!....This shows how hollow these
military victories are. I'd like to see a follow-up report on Panama. It's in
absolute chaos."
CNN Shills for the U.N. "The problems are
enormous and none of the solutions simple. But most are conscious that unless
there's action, the planet may solve the problem -- by simply making it
impossible for people to live on it." "After so many days
and nights of negotiations, delegates are clearing their desks for the big
finale. That will start Friday, when the heads of state all sit down to
compete to see who are the real environmentalists -- and how much they're
willing to pay to prove it."
Two CBS Views on Quayle "If you want to see
the problem, visit a housing project called Clifton Terrace. It's only about a
ten-minute drive from your house. You could talk to, say, a 15-year-old mother
of two who doesn't want her kids; wants instead to be a child herself, and
play with a doll. She might have been helped by a good sex education course,
by readily available condoms, maybe even an abortion. Your administration
disapproves of those." "Over and over the
anchors made the point that Murphy Brown's a fictional character -- as if
that's really an issue. Do you think for a moment that if some TV character
started saying vicious, ugly things about blacks, would anyone say, `Hey, it's
only fiction?'....We in the press like to say we're honest brokers of
information, and it's just not true. The press does have an agenda."
Loving Jackson, Hating Buchanan "One wonders why
the media finds it so difficult that this man has a role to play....He has
been dealing with the task of securing jobs and education for inner-city youth
since at least 1971, when he founded Operation PUSH. No one has been more
prescient in warning of the tinderbox of ghetto America. And like it or not,
people who do not listen to anyone else listen to Jackson. So listen." "Buchanan, like his
role model David Duke, is the kind of phony populist who ignores the
moneygrubbing of the rich while focusing his wrath on welfare
recipients....Pit the employed worker against the welfare recipient, even
though the former can easily become the latter, thanks to Reaganomics."
Howling at Reality "Sometimes his
statements are revisionist howlers: `The Reagan Administration left the
American welfare state pretty much untouched.'"
Feudal Property Rights "The acceptance of
the enlightened view that man does not own nature, that common ecological or
even aesthetic values supersede feudal notions of property rights, is one
accomplishment that the 20th-century conservation movement can justly claim to
its credit."
Bush at Rio: Animal Killer, Grinch, Scrooge? "Some
environmentalists say that George Bush, the self-proclaimed `environmental
President,' should be called the extinction President." "When Bush shows up
this week for a 40-hour appearance, even many of America's allies are going to
greet him as the Grinch who stole the eco-summit." "America, in
contrast, found itself in the role of cranky Uncle Scrooge."
Sam Still Loves Mario Cokie Roberts:
"What are they [the Democrats] going to do? First of all, they don't have
another candidate. There's not somebody out there waiting in the wings, who's
a wonderful candidate waiting to run."
Another Media Democrat "I am a Democrat
and long for a Democratic administration."
Ted Says Cut the Fat "More is not always
better. We're moving into an era when the less we use, the better off we will
be. Is a 400-pound wife better than a 130-pound wife?....If only one third of
the money we spent on the Cold War could have been spent differently, we could
have had decent housing, health care, and education for all Americans."
