And you probably haven't avoided a third Edmund Morris: the tireless promoter who dogs your channel-surfing. Strangely, this Edmund Morris on the gab-show circuit begs to differ with Edmund the Writer. Where Edmund the Writer can be cleareyed about his subject, calling Reagan "banal" and an "airhead," Edmund the Promoter fawns like a Reaganaut, constantly trumpeting a "great president." Whereas Edmund I claims he only made up Edmund II, Edmund III weaves tales that are flatly contradicted in Edmund I's book.truenotochyperlinkno199910833000AMFridayOctOctober310/8/1999 7:30:00 AM630749502000000000199910833000AMFridayOctOctober310/8/1999 7:30:00 AM630749502000000000crapshoot Cooking the School BooksBruce GottliebHow U.S. News cheats in picking its "best American colleges."no Cooking the School Books Cooking the School BooksnoClick here for a response to this article by the editors of U.S. News.truenotochyperlinkno19999133000AMWednesdaySepSeptember39/1/1999 7:30:00 AM63071753400000000019999133000AMWednesdaySepSeptember39/1/1999 7:30:00 AM630717534000000000crapshootUnderpaid Soldiers?Jonathan ChaitDumb ideas exposed here.noUnderpaid Soldiers?Underpaid Soldiers?noTo justify a new increase in military pay, the Pentagon and legislators are citing a 13 percent "pay gap" between the salaries of servicemen and their civilian counterparts. Ignoring for a moment whether a dramatic increase in military pay is needed, the 13 percent figure is bogus. Even though the Congressional Budget Office debunked the statistic in March, several military representatives continue to cite it in congressional testimony.truenotochyperlinkno19995633000AMThursdayMayMay35/6/1999 7:30:00 AM63061558200000000019995633000AMThursdayMayMay35/6/1999 7:30:00 AM630615582000000000200311442744PMTuesdayJanJanuary161/14/2003 9:27:44 PM631781584640000000200311442744PMTuesdayJanJanuary161/14/2003 9:27:44 PM631781584640000000falsetruetruetruetruetruetrue20011018111443PMThursdayOctOctober2310/19/2001 3:14:43 AM6313904368300000002001104121740PMThursdayOctOctober1210/4/2001 4:17:40 PM631377946600000000
