...live without friends but not without enemies. He thrives in a storm, not in sunshine. Before Ken Starr, Clinton stood isolated from Democrats, having triangulated and compromised himself out of their good graces. That was fine when Starr was just investigating a moldy land deal. But when he turned his high horse onto the low road of presidential sex, Clinton knew this was different. For the first time, he needed congressional Democrats more than they needed him. And Democrats, fearing the right wing might really be gaining ground, answered his call. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship that...

...nothing requiring broad debate and consent. He could not trade pet projects with Republicans in Congress--I'll give you school vouchers if you give me the patients' bill of rights--because he could not afford to annoy any Democrats. And so, in the end, there was no tobacco deal...

Also aiding Pro Air's cause are hassle-free fares--no advance booking or Saturday-night stays required--to New York City; Philadelphia; Chicago; Baltimore, Md.; Orlando, Fla; Atlanta; and Indianapolis.

...give a Democratic prosecutor $50 million to see what he can come up with about Orrin Hatch. Senator Hatch is a fine Christian gentleman, but $50 million is a lot of money. You could find out a great deal about someone for that. Get copies of videotapes from security cameras in every store he ever shopped in, and if he ever scratched himself in public, we could watch it. Maybe he was undercharged for a pack of hair curlers once and neglected to tell the clerk about it. Interview everyone who has a grudge against him--old secretaries...
