...gods of symbolism are not to be trifled with. So between stops they arranged for the President's airplane--the very Air Force One that carried Nixon home to California for the last time--to get stuck. In the mud. As the crew transferred food, beverages, luggage and equipment from one plane to another, Clinton waved at reporters and threw both arms up in an expression of helplessness. And as the replacement plane (this time, the one that carried Kennedy's body) finally arrived in LaCrosse, Hillary's Right-Wing Conspiracy piled on. On the banks of the Mississippi near...
...Gore and his advisers knew that as difficult as the scandal might get for Clinton, it was not going to be so bad for Gore. After all, the worst case for Clinton means the Oval Office for Gore. The Vice President's poll numbers are up, and his Air Force Two press compartment is full of reporters who have little choice but to report on Gore and his 21st century agenda: solar-energy tax credits. High-tech classrooms. Computerized police departments. And the "Digital Earth initiative," Gore's vision of tomorrow's science museum, a 3-D virtual globe connected...
...obsession for Adam," Dave says. "He was her first love, her first steady." So when Dave opened her doors to Monica, she rushed in, with all her vulnerabilities.

...Monica does not like walls. Even after she transferred to Bel Air Prep School in her junior year, she kept a jealous eye on Adam, who became, according to his mother, the heartthrob of Beverly Hills High. In 1990, when he was named homecoming king, she "did everything in her power to get him back"--giving him presents and writing him an adoring letter "about how he walks down the hall like Moses, how everything parts for him." When she couldn't have Adam, she became pals with G.T., his younger brother. The two went to dinner and the movies...
...companies more than for their passengers. In the unorthodox agreement, Northwest will buy 14% of Continental's common shares--but 51% of the company's voting shares--effectively creating a domestic and international network to compete with megacarriers like United and American. The Continental shares are being sold by Air Partners, controlled by investor David Bonderman. Continental was operating on a wing and prayer five years ago when Air Partners and Air Canada (which since sold its shares) each invested about $50 million to lift the carrier out of bankruptcy. Last week Air Partners sold its remaining shares...
