Clinton's instincts these days err on the side of caution. The once accessible candidate now travels almost completely cordoned off from his press corps. Impromptu press conferences are discouraged because as Begala -- the traveling strategist and speechwriter -- puts it, "they just don't look very presidential...
...restrict the access of those who can rummage through it." Rather than banning such explorations, however, Caplan favors using blue-ribbon panels to establish guidelines for exhumations and testing. Even medical examiner Michael Baden, co-director of the New York State Police forensic-sciences % unit, admits the need for caution. "We have to be careful that we're not succumbing to the public desire for gossip," he says.

...Anyone who comes into a marriage with a teenage child needs to exercise extra caution about incest," warns psychiatrist Domeena Renshaw of Loyola School of Medicine, in Chicago.

Yet voters could easily see a military commitment in Bosnia -- or anywhere else -- as an electoral gimmick...
...most part, gay men find safe sex cumbersome, intrusive and unromantic, and HIV-negative men long for a monogamous relationship with another HIV-negative man in which both can throw caution to the winds. The problem is that the tests can be inaccurate, a lover can have unsafe sex outside the relationship and become infected, or a lover can simply lie about the results. Some gay men assert that they have been found HIV negative when in fact they haven't taken a test; they simply feel O.K. and don't think they have done anything especially risky...
