...history? If Bill Clinton's fall agenda outlined Tuesday is any indication, tinkering at the margins is quite enough. "We are going to see some more little initiatives, like extending the school day and day care standards," says TIME White House correspondent Jef McAllister of the President's autumn to-do list. McAllister notes Clinton learned his biggest lesson from failed health care reform, which taught him "not to raise big initiatives that Republicans can gang up on and scuttle." With the economy and Clinton's approval ratings up ? even in the midst of scandal ? whilst welfare enrollment and crime...
...talented that her words were worth copying [PEOPLE, Aug. 11]. In fact, maybe Dailey's plagiarizing of Roberts' phrases and ideas was a worthwhile endeavor. Edgar Allan Poe starts The Fall of the House of Usher with "During the whole of a dull, dark and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens..." Tell me, what author could help making that type of writing part of his or her own work? Of course, "like a rocket, the heat tore down her fingertips" may not be as poetic as Poe's words...
Blindsided on live TV, her attorney Robert M. Baum at first hedged, but later said Jackson would not submit to the test, at least not until after her sentencing in October.

(Upshaw "categorically denies" that she ever worked as a prostitute, says her attorney, Wanda Akin.) "We really cared about one another, and Autumn was supposed to symbolize that," Jackson told TIME. "I don't just believe I am the father. I know I am the father...
Then, from behind Door No. 3, yet another candidate emerged for the title of Autumn's father. He is a former busboy named Jesus Vasquez, whom Upshaw apparently married in 1973, a year before Autumn's birth--a marriage arranged, according to former friends, to help the Mexican immigrant gain U.S. citizenship. Joan Green, who was a waitress at the Los Angeles restaurant where Upshaw's mother and Vasquez worked, says everyone there assumed Vasquez was the girl's father. "The shape of her eyes and her eyebrows are Jesus," Green says. "And if you look at her baby pictures...
