...that he was a terrible student in law school, though his performace there is not exactly an encouraging barometer of his intellect. (He finished 76th in a class of 85.) It's not even that he somehow failed to cite a law review article from which he copied five pages of text word-for-word in a paper he wrote in his first year in law school. Taken in isolation, these are mere peccadillos. What is disturbing is how insecure he clearly feels about his brainpower...

...buttoned-down businessman who takes up with her, says he can forgive her slightly checkered past and then finds he cannot, Ken Land is more likable and believable than his Broadway counterpart. As a result, what is virtually an identical show plays louder, faster and funnier -- to cite Centenarian Director George Abbott's hallowed instructions to performers -- and also seems more true. It is as bubbly and brisk and bittersweet as Broadway, at home or on the road, is always supposed...

They cite his willingness this year to have Panama's bank-secrecy laws amended to allow U.S. investigators limited access to drug-money accounts. In an effort to scuttle a resolution critical of Panama's drug enforcement policies last March, Trott told a Senate committee, "The Panamanians have given ((the DEA)) 100% of its requests in terms of drug traffickers." An unlikely coalition led by North Carolina Republican Jesse Helms and Massachusetts Democrat John Kerry was nevertheless able to push the resolution through...

...airlines cite overworked air-traffic controllers and bad weather as reasons for delays. But the carriers bear much of the blame because they routinely bunch too many flights into the most popular travel times, thus creating what might be called winglock on the runways. As one remedy, Secretary Dole suspended antitrust rules in March to allow airline executives to sit down together and arrange their schedules for more realistic departure times.
