President Ronald Reagan backed tax breaks for the wealthy but did little to reform the nation's tax system to help ordinary Americans. Reagan did nothing to reduce federal spending. During his eight years in the White House, Reagan amassed the largest federal deficit in American history up to that time. The Reagan debt was larger than debts accumulated by all presidents before him combined.

[Tim Bailey], the town's engineering chief, says [Gary] wants to be judicious with taxpayers' money, so it has an interest in buying properties "at the lowest reasonable price we can." Nonetheless, he acknowledges, "My gut instinct out there is that a few of those appraisals were off-base a little." Though the law doesn't require it, the Town of Gary always hires independent appraisers. "And the appraisers may or may not do that great of a job," he says. [Eva Jones] says she has high hopes for Gary's new mayor, Harold Weinbrecht, who she believes will slow down Gary's rapid growth rate. "I'm so happy he made it," Jones says. "I campaigned for him as much as I could. I called him up and congratulated him before he even won. They always say, claim it and it's yours, so I claimed him. I'm ...

What an endearing old grumbler Samuel Johnson was. His way of beginning one of the classic works in the entire history of criticism his "Lives of the Poets" -- was to tell us all of the following in the opening paragraph of his life of Abraham Cowley: 1) that there was a notable "penury of English biography" before the work he was beginning; 2) that previous Cowley biographer Dr. Sprat was "an author whose pregnancy of imagination and eloquence of language have deservedly set him high in the ranks of literature"; 3) But "his zeal of friendship, or ambition of eloquence has produced a funeral oration more than a history: he has given the character, not the life of Cowley; for he writes with so little detail that scarcely anything is distinctly known, but all is confused and enl...

[...] one may say that is what made Walt Whitman naturally that made the change in the form of poetry, that we who had known the names for so long did not get a thrill from just knowing them. . . . There are classist overtones to some of her judgments, such as her denigration of the quality of queerness that she aristocratically describes as "low class with distinction" (Making 21 ). [...] her gestures of inclusion can seem distressingly cavalier, as in this passage from The Gradual Making of the Making of Americans: And so The Making of Americans has been done.

WASHINGTON - Like most reporters here in the 1980s, I liked Newt Gingrich and spent time listening to his office lectures every few weeks. He was smart, he was candid about most things, wrong about others - and funny in his hypercharged way. He was young and irreverent - like us - and he was on his way to taking over the Republicans in Congress and then Congress itself. His ambition was boundless, but he was changing the rules in Washington for better or worse. Then, after becoming speaker of the House after the 1994 elections - the Contract With America year - he began his self- destruction. Lord Acton would have understood: Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely. The little professor from a Georgia college no one had ever heard of was of a type I came to know well, the ang...

In his book Virtue's Hero, Gougeon argues that although "Self-Reliance" does indeed express Emerson's ambivalence toward abolition circa 1841 when the essay was published, by 1844, when Emerson delivered his first in a series of abolitionist addresses, Emerson had undergone a "conversion" to abolitionism, the evidence for which can be seen in his more frequent attendance at abolitionist meetings, his greater willingness to sign petitions, and, of course, deliver addresses on behalf of the cause. A little over a month after "The War of Ideas" appeared in The Leader, The Liberator reprinted it in the latter newspaper's lead column, and included a disclaimer on the following page titled "Philosophy of Reform" to call attention to the weaknesses of Holyoake's claims.
