Clinton's inner circle takes some comfort in the fact that in contrast to typical grand-jury testimony, the President's lawyer will remain at his side rather than having to wait outside. "Kendall's job will be to sit there with a briefcase full of socks ready to stuff them into his mouth," jokes a Washington defense lawyer. Kendall might also remind the questioners that they are talking to the President of the U.S.--a protocol Clinton cannot enforce himself. But Kendall can do only so much.

July 1998 didn't just feel like the hottest month the world has known since records have been kept; it really was. New data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association puts the average global temperature at 61.7 degrees (not all that hot, but remember this includes Antarctica), which is half a degree higher than anything we've ever seen...
