Moreover, Congress had stripped out of its new welfare bill many of the harsh provisions that had provoked the President to veto two earlier versions. The decisive breakthrough began in early June, when two obscure G.O.P. Congressmen--John Ensign, a freshman from Las Vegas, and Dave Camp, a third termer from Michigan--conferred after a meeting of Republican members of the House Ways and Means Committee. Says Ensign: "We both looked at each other and said, 'This is crazy!' " What was crazy, they thought, was a decision of the G.O.P. congressional leadership to keep welfare reform combined in a single...
...parents. Royalty mixed with Olympian and, in the case of Kuwaiti swimmer S.A.B.S. Sultan Alotaibi, who finished 37th out of 37 in the 200-m individual medley, were one and the same. Perhaps the most interesting encounter occurred at the Olympic Village, when U.S. team handball circle runner Dave DeGraaf was followed into the lavatory by men in suits. "Mr. President, how are you?" asked DeGraaf. "Fine--how are you, young man?" responded Clinton. As DeGraaf's teammate, goalie Yaro Dachniwsky, put it, "Dave's now an expert on presidential leaks...
...Brien first came to public attention as the Dan half of the catchy 1992 Reebok ad campaign, "Dan and Dave," in which America's two best and most photogenic decathletes, O'Brien and Dave Johnson, were pitted against each other in anticipation of an exciting Barcelona matchup.

Many Deadheads are following some of the Dead's spiritual heirs, like the group Phish, the Dave Matthews Band or the H.O.R.D.E. tour. And there's new--or sorta new--Dead merchandise due soon and often: mandolinist David Grisman, who recorded several sessions with Garcia, plans to release a CD every August for the next few years featuring portions of those recordings. First up: a traditional folk album...
Ironically, one of the finest parts of the film involves Murphy attacking a mean stand-up comedian. Buddy Love returns with his date to the Def Comedy Jamtype comic (Dave Chapelle) who before had made public mockery of him as Sherman Klump. Turning heckler, Buddy begins by sarcastically praising the comic for his ability to pick out and pick on people for their weaknesses. Thereafter, things turn ugly for the poor guy: in a sequence owing a lot to Steve Martin's nose-joke routine in a bar in "Roxanne," Buddy proceeds to roast the comic to a crisp. Where...
