With the Lyndon Johnson reign around here. Robert carroll has given us that support in great detail. And some look at l. B. J. s wellknown heavyhandedness as a kind of mastery. Thats the way some look at it. Personally, i have always believed the leader that replaced him was a better fit for this place, and evidently so did johnsons colleagues who elected mansfield upon johnsons departure with overwhelming enthusiasm.

Republican. Former secretary of state Madeline Albright and Stephen Hadley. Then well tagckle the lega dimensions of the travel ban. Is it constitutional . Will it go all the way to the Supreme Court . Slurs and desecration. Antisemitism seems to be on the rise in europe and the United States. I will talk to Frances Bernard about what he is witnessing and why its happening. But first heres my take. After his spat with mexico, after the travel ban, last week donald trump did something unexpected. He be ut put in place a policy i agreed. He placed a smart check on federal regulations. I agree in the main with some important points of his program, tax reform, infrastructure investment, deregulation, Civil Service reform. The larger question i keep asking myself is does donald trump want someone like me to agree with him . The Trump White House has decided the best way to deal with any institution that might stand in its way is to try to delegitize it. The president says the media is now t
