[…] the circle which was to surround John Monks; whereas its members’ unions adapted more slowly to new conditions by latching on to the union role in the Clinton New Democratic coalition, to the European regulatory corporatism of Jacques Delors and to Will Hutton’s ‘stakeholder’ rhetoric as a combined model for a new working relationship […]
[…] correction is shifting power in one great lurch to the East. The bad bet This gamble on US leadership was built on faith not on facts. When Clinton sent cruise missiles into Sudan and Afghanistan, it was an action predicated on the widespread understanding that US firepower was so massive that no-one would attract […]
[…] Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Some of the more well-known names of Fronteras’ Board members are: Chairman William H. White (ex Deputy Secretary of the Treasury under Clinton); President/CEO Steve Nicandros (ex-Pres. Conoco International Operations); and Advisers John Deutch (ex-CIA Director) and Lloyd Bentsen (ex-Treasury Secretary.). ‘A coup attempt in 1998 led the chairman […]
[…] New Labour agree on several key facts. First, that Tony Blair has transformed the Labour party unrecognisably. Second, that much of this has been modelled on the Clinton experience, and third that he has created a new model of centrism and apparent fiscal prudence.

En route there are portraits of the leading figures, both […]
[…] pages from Clay Shaw’s attorney, Edward Wegmann. Many of the Garrison documents relate to sightings of ‘Lee Oswald’ and ‘Clay Shaw’, or their doppelgangers, in Jackson and Clinton, La, prior to the assassination. Wegmann’s documents, predictably enough, are said to depict Garrison as a sloppy and irrational homophobe Adios LA? Finally, a tiny item […]
[…] with personality than partisanship. It’s all about the freedom conferred by the ‘What’s right is what works’ philosophy as expressed, e.g. by Dick Morris, a former senior Clinton aide who said: ‘That’s why the centre is so viable, and that’s my idea of triangulation: take the best of each and merge them. That’s not […]
[…] real world about which the New Labour tendency appear to know almost nothing. They’ve believed the hype. At its core New Labour bought the story, from the Clinton people, that America was a more dynamic, open, egalitarian society which – crucially – created more jobs than other western industrialised economies. Most of this is […]
