...former public-relations executive who claimed to have staged the famous 1959 "kitchen debate" in Moscow between then Vice President Richard Nixon and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev on the merits of capitalism and communism, Safire went on to work in the White House as a speechwriter, before starting a career as a wordsmith at the Times. And a wordsmith he was: in addition to his columns, Safire also penned (a verb I suspect he would have hated) the On Language page in the New York Times Magazine, continuing to write it until shortly before he died.

...unforgivable mess of Chappaquiddick and the tawdry William Kennedy Smith rape trial, while providing a picture of life in the claustrophobic Kennedy clan--an airtight hothouse of ambitious and competitive men and women. But it's clear that Kennedy hoped to be remembered best for his trailblazing Senate career, in which he championed legislation like the Voting Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Bing assumed the mayoralty in a special election in May, after the fall of Kwame Kilpatrick, whose promising political career was dashed in a sex-text-messaging scandal that led to a conviction on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. Now Bing, 65, is facing a Nov. 3 election for a full term. To most Detroiters, Bing - despite his basketball fame - often seems a remote, unknowable figure, and the feeling is mutual. He only recently bought a home in the city and still maintains one in an affluent Detroit suburb...
