...like a man. She doesn't get petulant, the way Steve Forbes did last week when the other candidates ganged up on him. It reminds me of my first up-close and personal impression of her during the '92 campaign, when it was possible to share a van and chat. She would blurt out things like "For goodness' sake, you can't be a lawyer if you don't represent banks," which worked in its way for Willie Sutton but is not wife-of-candidate speak.

Or when the Teacher needs to car bomb the mobster's limousine, we need to have some hint of how he gained...
...INTERNET, WHEN PEOPLE want to chat about the bleaker side of life, they often find their way to alt.support.loneliness. The forum, a Usenet newsgroup, is open 24 hours a day for anyone who wants to post messages lamenting a breakup with a spouse, or how tough it is to meet people or find true love or even a true date. It's a moderately popular group. Or it was, before the Carolinian Lords of the Caucasus showed...
