...against this busy backdrop, this social whirlwind of a life, that the December visit that caused Monica so much anguish took place. Mondale was in town to cover the Kennedy Center honors, and remembers it like this: "I briefly stopped at the White House to say hello on my way to interview the honorees, as our families have been friends for decades. I have no knowledge of anything else that may have taken place that day. Ms. Lewinsky's speculation is baseless, and has absolutely no foundation in fact...

Even if Martha Graham had done nothing else worth mentioning in her 96 years, she might be remembered for that face. But she also made dances to go with it--harsh, angular fantasies spun out of the strange proportions of her short-legged body and the pain and loneliness of her secret heart. If Graham ever gave birth, one critic quipped, it would be to a cube...
