Dianne Feinstein, the highly regarded Senator from California, recalled how she believed Clinton back in January when he denied having had a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

By early August, however, it had reached No. 132 and is on the rise. Also, the group is not from Southern California, as you said, but from Jacksonville, Fla. Flip Records does not rely on radio or music videos to break its bands. Instead we tour our groups relentlessly, so that kids will have a chance to discover the bands for themselves, and the groups will have credibility and full careers rather than...
