...images kept flashing through my head last week. The brighter one was filled with the sheer exuberance of a bunch of kids from Toms River, N.J., as they pursued their ultimately successful dream of winning the World Series in Little League Baseball. The darker one stemmed from Mark McGwire's defiant confirmation that he's been taking a supplement called androstenedione, which its manufacturers claim will boost testosterone levels. While it's perfectly legal in the U.S. and the major leagues for McGwire to take the supplements, it sends an absolutely wrong health message to kids everywhere. If he does...
...Newt Gingrich, naturally, lauded the court's decision as "a tremendous court victory." But the great uncounted can be an inscrutable bunch. Take motor-voter laws, which make registering to vote easier and which Republicans opposed on the tenet that the laziest voters were all Democrats. "Those laws have actually helped the GOP, for reasons that demographers still don't understand," says TIME congressional correspondent Jay Carney. "You never know how it will come out."

"It doesn't look like the handiwork of a bunch of guys who got together in a garage," says Morris Busby, former director of the State Department's counterterrorism office. Intelligence experts believe the operation had to be "professionally" planned to get two powerful car bombs into both cities and parked near the embassies, and to explode them almost in tandem. They think it would probably have taken "several months" to organize. They suspect the two embassies were chosen because they were "soft": easily accessible buildings in wide-open countries that offered...
...Starr may indeed have more than that. But in private, White House staffers have reserved their unequivocal denials for the subornation issue -- a rare degree of confidence for that demoralized bunch -- and a sign that perhaps, after all those subpoenas, Ken Starr may not have enough to beat out the power of one Clinton confessional...
