...Constitution says you can't have a third term, but it doesn't say you can't have a second act, and the Clintons have decided to break with tradition and have an ex-co-presidency a ZIP code away from the Rose Garden. Hillary wanted an instant Washington salon, as grand as her health care plan, with as many rooms as her ambition. There will be no cramped weekday existence for her, like the members who live large in their home states but modestly in D.C.

Passions were no less intense on the Internet, where the music industry fought a rear-guard action against the forces--and free music--unleashed...
...long ago, few Rosemont students were considered college material. Reared in downtown Baltimore's roughest ZIP code, almost all of them live in poverty. The lucky ones could expect to take classes someday at a community college, but nearly two-thirds of students in this troubled district don't make it through high school. On standardized tests conducted three years ago, not a single Rosemont student read at grade level...
