...economy is already perking along. After more than four years of expansion, it is growing at a sustainable rate of around 2.5%; inflation remains under control, and unemployment is a moderate 5.6%. Allen Sinai, chief economist for Lehman Brothers Global Economics, predicted "at least another two or three years of expansion and probably the best U.S. business cycle ever." Moreover, he added, the healthy economy will be "absolutely an A-plus" for Clinton in next year's election...
...session in our Washington bureau, we invited some mainstream economists, of course, including David Wyss of DRI/McGraw Hill and Allen Sinai of Lehman Brothers Global Economics. But we also added a U.S. Senator (Pete Domenici), one of Clinton's top economic advisers (Laura D'Andrea Tyson), a Cabinet member (Labor Secretary Robert Reich), a specialist on minority economics (Margaret Simms of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies), a conservative economist (Stephen Moore from the Cato Institute) and a New Democrat (Rob Shapiro of the Progressive Policy Institute...
STARDOM CAN OFFER AIRTIGHT INsulation from reality. From the fact that he is famous, a celebrity too often creates the fiction that he is revered. O.J.

Last week the news broke that Roberts had found love with a Venetian water-limo driver--an Italian tabloid even ran a blurry photo, possibly of the two kissing. "It's not true," says Roberts' spokesperson. "I didn't ask her if she kissed him, but she kisses everyone...
...Americans wondered what "national interest" they had in a war that many thought we should let the Europeans take care of themselves, William Allen White wrote, "Whoever is fighting for liberty is defending America." These words are now inscribed on the wall of a corridor in the U.S. Capitol. Yet, for too much of two administrations, the U.S. has stood by as its defenders were slaughtered in the streets of Sarajevo. We puttered while our allies dithered, dawdled and delayed their way to a "consensus" on whether to support the firefighters or the fire. We must never forget...
