...most glaring example was a letter she sent to the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, which represents nearly 1,000 Jewish synagogues around the U.S. In it she wrote that she considers Jerusalem "the eternal and indivisible capital of Israel" and wants to see the U.S. embassy moved there from Tel Aviv. Neither position reflects Administration policy, but both reflect New York political reality. Hillary's advisers were feeling swell about the letter, because for the first time, as one says, "she made a judgment that the dictates of New York politics were going to structure what...
...self-effacing, studious pose is supposed to buy time and get people accustomed to a startling sight: the first First Lady ever to run for office, doing so while her husband still occupies his. But this phase of her campaign, which will involve two- or three-day jaunts around New York most weeks through the summer and fall, is designed to accomplish an array of other objectives...
Because as they look back on how they got here and at what lies ahead, some crusaders realize they may have missed the chance of a lifetime.

A film about that trial, which had Hollywood adrool over a public brawl between two of the town's most potent moguls, would be a drama...
...final phase of the trial, in which Eisner would have had to counter Katzenberg's estimate of future revenue by poor-mouthing the company's prospects. And Katzenberg gets a nice bundle--if not the $580 million he wanted. No dollar figure was disclosed, but the educated guess was around $250 million, including the $117 million Katzenberg has already received. The sum is to be paid within a year, giving the plaintiff a fat payday--and an enormous tax bill...
