...holiday season, and you are eager to get to your family and all that, but boy, this holding the world economy by the hand is even better than advertised. The phone rings. Maybe it will be like this summer, when your mom picked up in your house on Cape Cod and found Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan on one line and worried Russian reformer Anatoli Chubais on the other. Oh, how she thrilled over that! The phone rings, and because you are the Deputy Secretary (and happen to be one of the few rocket-scientist economists not trying to create...
DIED. PAUL MELLON, 91, assiduous cultural benefactor and environmentalist; in Upperville, Va. The only son of famed financier Andrew Mellon, he spent nearly $1 billion establishing such treasures as the Yale Center for British Art and the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

I always thought it would be risky to go out in the classic horseman's duster that was one of Peterman's hottest...
...White House smelled a GOP trap: Admit to perjury and get prosecuted for it the moment you leave office. Even though the White House has argued that no prosecutor would bring perjury charges on what Clinton is alleged to have done, an admission would be like waving a red cape before Ken Starr. And while few believe Clinton could be prosecuted for statements made in the Paula Jones case (even the House voted down this charge), a stronger case could be made that the President lied before the gand jury...
