...solid year of scum--a soiled blue dress, a scheme to buy silence, witness intimidation, and lies, lies, lies--you might think Bill Clinton would be ready to get back to doing his job. But you would be wrong.

Mobutu aides say he will come home Friday, but with Laurent Kabila reportedly less than 100 miles from Kinshasa, many are speculating that Mobutu will leave Gabon for exile on the French Riviera.
