Everybody who's anybody in U.S. foreign policy has made the pilgrimage to mecca: Henry Kissinger, Jimmy Carter, former U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, Joint Chiefs Chairman General Hugh Shelton. Madeleine Albright packed the hall at nearby Wingate University, where Helms studied for a year, for a speech (during which she gave the Senator a T shirt emblazoned with SOMEBODY AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT LOVES ME). Earlier this month, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan delivered a commencement address at Wingate with a beaming Helms sitting in the front row waving a fan against the broiling...
...turned on Imus in the Morning last Wednesday to find two middle-aged men on the verge of tears. Hamilton Jordan, the wunderkind behind the Carter presidency and the youngest chief of staff in history, was in the studio to promote No Such Thing As a Bad Day (Longstreet Press; $22). It's a book about his glory days in the White House and his inglorious ones, including the time he was falsely accused of snorting cocaine at Studio 54 and insulting the wife of the Egyptian ambassador by admiring her pyramids.

"She said it was one of the best expositions on foreign policy on TV that she'd seen," recalls Caddell...
Since then, Sprewell has been a favorite among New York's hard-hearted fans, who have embraced his maturity and industry. He still blazes with intensity--his suffocating defense on Carter included a flagrant but not malicious foul that floored Air Canada. But Spree leaves it all on the court, and even NBA commissioner David Stern has had kind words for him. It's Sprewell's face, after all, that the League elected to represent the Knicks in its playoff commercials. "I'm glad I was able to turn it around," Sprewell told reporters last week. "It could have easily...
