...Janeiro, the first person I see in the lobby is Michael Stipe, the lead singer of R.E.M. He's standing near the concierge desk at the Copacabana Palace wearing a green T-shirt and white bath slippers with blue straps. He's got stubble going on his chin and cheeks that's somewhere between I-haven't-gotten-around-to-grooming-myself-lately and I'm-growing-a-beard-as-part-of-a-midlife-change.

...show hosts' lips, but whenever it did, brother Jeb was there to field it with an appropriate verbal shrug. Yes, there were Democratic squawks from the likes of Bob Kerrey and Carl Levin, wondering why a man so audibly enamored of bipartisanship had been so quick to jerk a chin toward the Gore campaign as an orchestrator of the leak. But if the Republicans protested a little too much (Arlen Specter, we're looking at you and your post-election "hunch"), George W. still has the same slender edge in the national polls, three-quarters of the polled...
