N ENERGY By David Horowitz Sponsored by ARMPAC and GOPToday.com We are =
losing the war over energy and the environment. Every poll shows it. The Ca=
lifornia public -- where most of the political battle to date has been foug=
ht -- thinks energy companies are responsible for the crisis and favors pri=
ce controls -- the Democrats' socialist solution -- by a whopping 70%. We a=
re losing because the Democrats are attacking us with images ("price gougin=
g energy companies") but we are opposing them with arguments ("it's about s=
upply and demand") that are over many voters' heads. If you don't think so,=
consider that 57% of California Republicans also support price controls. W=
e are losing because we haven't told the public that the Democrats and envi=
ronmental extremists are waging a war against them -- against their prosper=
ity and freedom. In politics the weapons of battle are sound-bites and im=
ages. Images are created by a story. The Democrat story is this: Republican=
s are in the pockets of greedy oilmen who are gouging the public; Democrats=
are the friends of the people. Democrats will use government to save consu=
mers from the clutches of greedy oilmen and their politician cronies. Fear =
is a powerful emotion. If Democrats are allowed to plant these fears in the=
hearts of the voting public, we will lose the 2002 elections. Read the c=

IN PEACE, ANTHONY QUINN By Linda Chavez Anthony Quinn is dead at 86, the=
evening news announced on Sunday, and I felt as if I had lost a family mem=
ber. Quinn was much more than an actor to me as I was growing up. The first=
film I ever remember seeing was Elia Kazan's "Viva Zapata," in which Quinn=
played the brother of Emiliano Zapata, the peasant leader of the Mexican R=
evolution. Five years old and sitting in the ornate Kimo Theater in Albuque=
rque, N.M., with my parents, I remember crying out loud in the auditorium Q=
uinn's line as he rode across the screen after Zapata was killed: "No, no, =
he's not dead. He's in the mountains with his people." The movie, whose scr=
eenplay was written by John Steinbeck, can be seen on classic movie station=
s on cable sometimes and still brings tears to my eyes. Mexican and other=
Latin actors were relatively common in the '40s and early '50s. Gilbert Ro=
land, Cesar Romero, Desi Arnaz, Ricardo Montalban, Carmen Miranda, Dolores =
Del Rio and Linda Darnell were romantic leads in many a Hollywood movie. Bu=
t Quinn stood apart from the others. As he once observed, he rarely got the=
girl in any of his movies because his looks weren't the classic, fine-feat=
ured variety favored for those parts. Read the complete article at http:/=

Liberation Army (NLA) ethnic Albanian guerrillas armed with assault rifles=
and mortars. If they're lucky, Macedonian troops and security police rid=
e to the battlefields in trucks. Men move on foot through forests and villa=

the national media elite are mesmerized by the unfolding events in the U.S=

w Hollywood Really Sees Conservatives? The answer is "No. This is how they =

behavior of Democratic politicians, and attacks on the constitution and th=

s, we need to be less naive about the venom housed in the snakepit of Holly=
wood. We also need to fund some movies that portray things more accurately.=
