ALEXANDRIA, Virginia — A U.S. Foreign Service officer stationed in Brazil and Congo used his status to pressure female visa applicants for sex, according to federal charges. Gons G.

Nachman was ordered jailed pending a detention hearing scheduled for Tuesday. Court records reflect that a defense lawyer has not yet been appointed. According to the affidavit, Nachman made a habit of pressuring and pursuing sexual relationships with attractive female visa applicants while stationed in...

This is the first time I have posted in 2 years. I believe there can be a relatively peaceful transition in Cuba by taking lessons from an old Jewish parable said by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov about 350 years ago. The name of the parable is The Turkey Prince, and I reccomend that y'all read it at www.nachalnovea.com/breslovcenter/articles/article_tprince.html . My comments are thus: I believe there will be at least 3 stages of transition of Cuba to Free Cuba. 1) The Chinese model will first be used, with economic liberalization and some loosening of social controls, but with raul fully...

Moore alters "Bowling" DVD in response to criticism (9/2) By Brendan Nyhan In the newly-released DVD version of his Academy Award-winning documentary "Bowling for Columbine," filmmaker Michael Moore has altered a caption that he fictitiously inserted into a 1988 Bush-Quayle campaign commercial -- one of a number of misstatements and deceptive arguments we criticized when the film was released last year. Ironically, on the same day the DVD was released, Moore issued a libel threat against his critics on MSNBC's "Buchanan & Press," saying, "Every fact in the film is true. Absolutely every fact in the film is true....

Posted Monday, April 21MSNBC Sets Postwar Programming MSBNC has taken another step in its transition to postwar programming. The cable network declared that stand-alone shows hosted by legal correspondent Dan Abrams and editor-in-chief Jerry Nachman don't "make sense going forward." In an internal e-mail, MSNBC President Erik Sorenson said both men would remain on-air contributors -- Mr. Abrams as a daytime anchor and correspondent on crime and legal stories and Mr. Nachman "as a kind of Eric Sevareid/Jeff Greenfield voice on media, politics and law enforcement stories and issues." Mr. Sorenson said the staffs of both shows are being redeployed...

The "Big Three" networks' decision not to carry President Bush's speech Monday on Iraq drew quick and sharp criticism from one NBC commentator. In fact, MSNBC editor in chief Jerry Nachman was considerably tougher on the decision than the White House, which said it understood why the broadcast networks -- except for Fox -- took a pass on the president's case for an attack on Iraq. In an MSNBC commentary, Nachman called the possible threat on Iraq "the most important story in the world." For the first time in our history, he said, "possibly attacking a sovereign country that has...

The struggling cable news outfit is emulating Fox News Channel, which swept to the top of the cable news ratings with a shouting heads format in the evenings. MSNBC labels its commentators "fiercely independent," and the showpiece is Donahue, the veteran talk show host making a return to television. Nachman, the former New York Post editor hired as MSNBC's...
