Why Newt Gingrich is terrified of his barber: ~.:VIEW Or "What' s he hiding under all that hair?" Founded in 1882 Shutdown update

The Review staff were among the many people who naively believed, last fall, that the looming government shutdown (the first one) would be beneficial to the American people in at least one aspect the federal government would go away for·a while. Of course, we and all citizens realized pretty quickly that that wasn't the case. The government stayed right where it was, and even turned up the pitch of its discourse on whtt was really meant by "the general welfare" and "domestic tranquility" - a largely theatrical debate, really, betrayed by infantile behavior and bullheadedness. Only certain government services went away, leaving people stranded without payments or passports. Now the second shutdown, which began on December 15, 1995, has been tabled for the time being, making this a likely time to reexamine what has been done and who has done it. To begin with, The Review doesn't care to take issue with the political po turing or the campaign miles Messrs. Clinton and Dole have squeezed out of the debate. This is business as usual, and it is a pitfall of the democratic system that candidates will try to make themselves as attractive as possible to as many people as possible. Still, there is a difference between holding fast to the convictions you believe will earn you respect and votes, and holding your breath until the government turns blue, just to show off. Assuming Letters to the Editor that balancing the budget is imperative (and we stil l quibble about exactly how important it is and why 10 years will be the death of us NEA and NEH Eradicate disparity between Because Detec tive Mark Furhman lied but seven is just fine) we can and do respect the ideological insupporta bie Blacks and Whites about not using racial slurs and made positions of Clinton, Gingrich and Dole. and we believe th ey have references to beating up non-whiles who were linked 10 the attempted murder of a Paul Smith, in his Dec. 8 column ("In I'm sick and tired of hearing minorities shown them ·elves to be more than candidates making show-and-tell fellow officer, he was demonized -even defense of NEA/NEH abolition"), made complain that Ih e American system does with fe deral jobs.
