Every American now so enchanted with Jack Kemp should know the facts about him, whatever they are. If the facts matter to you, don't rely on the media. Research them yourself by looking up information on, for example, who is involved in Kemp's Empower America Foundation. One good source is the Center for Public Integrity, the group that exposed Pat Buchanan's campaign co-chairman Larry Pratt's close association with paramilitias and racists. This booklet includes extensive material on the complex network of political operatives surrounding Kemp and Forbes as well as Clinton and Gore.
Good news is soft.
If we cover good news we're pansies. We are seen as gullible if we seem to be impressed by positive solutions and successes. Yet we would do well to be impressed by the positive rather than depressed by the negative. A Reuter e-mail dispatch was intercepted, one sentence was added, the format was kept exactly as if it were a Reuter story, and the transmission was sent on its way. The single sentence caused holy havoc and a Reuter apology to the Cambodian government.
