...offhand custodian of his fate. Again and again, he drifts into crisis, blames others, wakes up at last and then scrambles to his own defense, a defense in which, sure enough, he's sinuous, subtle and dazzling.

Securities analysts, reassessing the impact of the turmoil in Asia and other foreign markets, last week began chopping down their estimates for growth...
WASHINGTON: He's appealed on the grounds of executive privilege, attorney-client privilege and the historic silence of the Secret Service. Now Clinton attorney David Kendall is pleading "fundamental fairness" in a bid to see Ken Starr's Lewinsky dossier before it heads to the Hill. "Elemental fairness dictates that we be allowed to respond to any 'report' you send to the House simultaneously with its transmission," Kendall wrote Starr on Monday. In other words, Clinton wants to steel himself against possible impeachment charges and claims a right to read Starr's report a week in advance -- plenty of time...
