...only way out of this disaster was to set my clocks right. So in honor of Daylight Savings Time, I did. Not only did I end up losing only 37 minutes of sleep, but I also found the delightful sense of security of knowing not just where I was and who I was, but also when I was. And I suddenly wasn't afraid of being late anymore. 15 years ago, most current college students did not know how to tell time.

Such a thing is commonplace in New York, but Harvard men are almost outrageously tame and generally keep ribaldry to a tolerable level.) I couldn't imagine who would say such a thing or who might...
...defending himself against Starr. A victory over Jones would boost Clinton's image as the beleaguered victim and trivialize Starr's whole obstruction campaign. For this strategy to work, though, Clinton's team needs to keep Starr defending himself against leaks as well as chasing small shafts of daylight between the accounts of his principal witnesses...
