...first day of kindergarten was so awful that 40 years later, Stephanie Johnson remembers every miserable detail. Raised by a stay-at-home mother, she had never spent much time with kids her age before. Arriving at school late, she endured the cold, silent stares of 30 other children as the teacher found her a seat. When her mother abruptly vanished, she felt abandoned, and her sniffling escalated into wails. "I felt like a garbage can deposited at the curb on trash day," she recalls...
Surely, I think, I can reason him out of this. But he looks angry and tells me I'm wrong and relates--in great detail--a late-night meal of takeout chicken we once consumed at my desk when I was working late. "Yeah, Dad, that was me," I tell him.

If Primakov were into sound bites, it would have been: I knew Boris Yeltsin, and I?m no Boris Yeltsin...
...testimony in the Paula Jones case, but wouldn?t comment on whether he might seek any indictments against either of the Clintons. Starr also claimed he?d been "horrified" by the House of Representatives decision to publish his report on the Monica Lewinsky affair in all of its salacious detail. He wants America to believe he?d only included the good bits to help the legislature reach an informed decision. Good thing he isn?t standing for a New York senate seat...
