    • "Terri Schiavo has been in what doctors call a
      persistent vegetative or coma-like state for 15 years, with no higher brain
      activity. Her husband says that Terri would not want to be kept alive
      artificially in this state. He has asked that the feeding tube that keeps
      her alive be removed. Her parents disagree, saying that Terri would not want
      to die this way, and contend that her condition could be improved. A Florida
      judge upheld her husband's request to remove the
      feeding tube. Do you agree or disagree with the decision to remove her
      feeding tube?"

    • "Congress met in a special session this past
      weekend to pass legislation moving the Schiavo case from the Florida state
      courts, which have repeatedly ruled to remove the feeding tube, to the
      federal court system. Regardless of your opinion on the Schiavo case, do you
      think it was right for Congress to intervene in this matter, or not?"

    • The knee-jerk way to review a colossus like this is to chip away at it, to whittle it down to one's own intellectual size by regretfully pointing to what Dickstein left out: What about comic strips or radio shows or doggerel poetry? (See? I'm not above such tricks.) But Dickstein puts a stop to this kind of gamesmanship at the outset when he tells readers that he "made no effort to cover everything."

    • a deeply divided Senate narrowly ratified the Treaty of Paris on February 6. Having formally
      purchased the Philippines from Spain, the United States declared its newfound possession to be in a state of insurrection. Thomas B. Reed, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, remarked ruefully, "We have bought ten million Malays at $2.00 a head unpicked, and nobody knows what it will cost to pick them."
    • The Filipinos were well aware that many Americans opposed the government’s venture in imperialism
