...just hang on for the ride. Stein and Cacheris met with Starr Tuesday morning, inked the full-immunity deal with Starr's signature at the bottom and with his permission announced it in a spectacular, one-sentence, curbside press appearance. While Clinton attended a memorial service on Capitol Hill for the slain officers, spokesman Mike McCurry was left to put the word out on how pleased the President was "that things are working out" for Monica, as though that bouquet would be sufficient to keep her on the President's team...

Pay-for-play is no magic wand. It can make a good record sell better but doesn't do much for an average...
...seriously wounded presidential candidate George Wallace in 1972 did the Service learn--from Bremmer's diary--that the would-be assassin had stalked Nixon before turning to the less protected Wallace.
