...Clinton chose to stick with his plan to testify next Monday. Apart from the political costs of refusing, the courts have long ruled that you can sue a sitting President, you can subpoena his tapes, and you can get his papers. If Clinton challenged the call to testify, Kendall had warned, he would lose, and perhaps quickly. "It doesn't make sense for the presidency, for Bill Clinton, for the next 2 1/2 years, for him to be silent," says an adviser...
...everyone is looking for his or her life partner yet. Additionally, if you take a chance once every two months, you might go on four really memorable dates. You might have to give up a couple of Saturdays of drinking and probably more than one last-ditch phone call from friends desperate to see a movie. But it will be worth it, because you will have taken a good risk...
...just humor me now. Stick with me a second. I want to perform what eggheads call a "thought experiment." Let's suppose that Mike McCurry's statement is not, technically speaking, accurate.

Let's suppose, by contrast, that the President was just the slightest bit depressed by the news. Let's suppose, in other words, that McCurry's statement...
Like letters at the post office, each packet is individually addressed. IP tells the network how to read the packets and where to send them. Unlike a traditional phone call, which sets up a circuit between two phones (think of the 1930s operator plugging wires into jacks), IP allows phone carriers simply to throw the packets onto a network, where they will be sorted and delivered by any one of thousands of machines (called routers), just as if they were postcards at a post office...
...stow them. Digging up brokerage statements years after the fact is never easy and is the main reason more shareholders don't file claims. Another reason is simply not knowing about a settlement. If you move or change your name or account, the courts may not find you. So call your broker, the company's investor-relations department or the lead attorneys in the case every six months for an update. Sure, it's a hassle. But even in a bull market, you have to work a little...
