...their parents? work weeks continue unrelenting. The older children at the day camp were away at the time, touring the Simon Wiesenthal Museum of Tolerance, prompting Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean of that sad shrine, to try to make a kind of insane sense of this installment of America?s recent ravaging by men and guns and news choppers. "It's ironic that the 20 children were here learning about man's inhumanity to man, when their own day camp became a target of such hatred," Hier said. Irony doesn?t begin to cover...

Starr also claimed he?d been "horrified" by the House of Representatives decision to publish his report on the Monica Lewinsky affair in all of its salacious detail. He wants America to believe he?d only included the good bits to help the legislature reach an informed decision. Good thing he isn?t standing for a New York senate seat...
