Television... Is Not A Substitute For Print.

I Grew My Mustache When I Was Nineteen In Order To Look Older. I Never Shaved It Off Even Though It Overran Its Usefulness Many, Many Years Ago.

Attorney General John Ashcroft Has Earned Himself A Remarkable Distinction As The Torquemada Of American Law. Tomás De Torquemada...was Largely Responsible For...[the] Torture And The Burning Of Heretics — Muslims In Particular.
