...want to go to Loews Fresh Pond to see something good. Take my advice: rent a video. Alewife is further away than the cute little "T" map would have you believe. And once you get there it's a nature hike to make it to the theater. You mountain-climb after crossing the most imposing bridge you never wanted to see. Not worth the effort, or the prickers...

Though he likes to swim and is addicted to C-SPAN, Panetta stays close to his hardscrabble roots -- literally. He tries to get back to California twice a month, where his idea of relaxing is to climb onto his Ford tractor and work the ground on his family's 11-acre walnut ranch in the Carmel Valley. "He gets unspeakably cranky if he doesn't get back regularly," said an associate, who joked that aides have taken up inner-office collections for airfare when Panetta has been in Washington too long...

As a Foreign Ministry official in Paris observed, "We now feel we are dealing with a really responsible leader." It is quite a climb-down for Clinton, though the Administration says it is simply realism -- and that may be true. In January 1993 he dismissed European proposals to partition Bosnia as too favorable to the Serbs and a reward for their aggression. In Paris he agreed to put Washington's full weight behind...

...their benefits, cutting them off after two years if they refuse. But he too has seen that putting people to work is not enough. Since teenage mothers form the hard core of the welfare population, consuming $34 billion in benefits a year, and are the least likely to climb out of poverty, he has made teen-pregnancy prevention a pillar of his program. He has invited states to cut off additional payments to women who have children while on the dole, a hotly controversial measure dubbed the "family...
