...both the Democratic National Committee and President Clinton's private legal fund--all of which was deemed questionable and returned--Trie is in a position to know a lot about the Clinton money machine. It's not yet known why Trie turned himself in or what kind of deal he struck with investigators. But it appears to be one more thing for the White House to worry about...
What astonishes Americans and drives them into Camp Two is the thought that after the electorate made a kind of deal with Clinton in 1992 (we'll let the Gennifer Flowers thing slide, that was Arkansas, and you're a big boy now: just don't do it again), he may have so unrepentantly and blithely and cynically--and maybe pathologically--persisted. Some Clinton haters indulged in mere prurient dudgeon. But plenty of parents were incensed in a nonpartisan way by the thought that the young woman might have been thus debauched in the house of Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt...
...track when it's like pulling teeth to get anything from (the President)?" Martinez recalls saying. Within days, Martinez got a late-night call from Clinton, and, later, a call from Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater, telling him that the project would move forward.

At $311 million a mile, the freeway would slice through historic areas of South Pasadena and the largely Latino community of El Sereno, displacing...
...contradiction.? That it is, but Clinton?s populist proposals -- 100,000 new teachers, child care tax credits for working families -- will be hard to fight head-on. The Republicans would do better to concentrate on Clinton?s fiscally risky use of the proposed tobacco settlement; although that $368.5 billion deal is nowhere near being inked, the President has already earmarked nearly a quarter of it for new spending plans. The White House has already prepared its spin on that one -- if the settlement goes up in smoke, Congress looks like the villain for snatching money out of teachers' paychecks. With...
That seems less than likely now. Saddam hasn't budged: U.N. inspectors are still barred from inspecting presidential sites despite a flurry of diplomatic activity with Russian envoys and erroneous reports that a deal had been reached. But with his Arab neighbors still wary of American intervention, and facing the prospect of a less-than-punishing attack, why should he budge...
