...Oval Office photo op Wednesday morning, Clinton gave the impression he was just gently holding hands: "I have received a large number of calls from House members," he said. "I haven't been able to return them all because we have other things to do, and I'll try to call the rest of them today," which was sort of like arguing that they were having sex with him but he wasn't having sex with them. A few hours later, his hapless new press secretary, Joe Lockhart, was forced to concede that indeed the President was making calls...

And the Democrats got all kinds of ammunition to rally their faithful and broil their Republican opponents for unfairness and arrogance in their solemn duty.

And it is just one of the obstacles confronting Toys "R" Us as the nation's No. 1 retailer of playthings tries to get itself back on track...
...last month's Emmys and this season's still shorter frocks seem to indicate a frame even more devoid of substance. When Flockhart missed a day of work recently, idle minds began speculating that it was because of an eating disorder. Reps for Flockhart and Fox, McBeal's network, call the story "bogus," and Flockhart went on L.A. radio to insist that she is robust and well fed. Viewers will have to stay tuned to see how the story fills...
