...pushing drugs to feed his habit. "I don't think there was much analysis behind his actions," his lawyer, John Pyfer Jr., told TIME. "I think it just happened, the way it could happen to your child or mine." It's a familiar story, barely noteworthy, except for one detail: Abner Stoltzfus is Amish...
...like human beings, not automatons; cutting costs saves money. Self-contradiction masquerades as Zenlike philosophical balance: Never lose your temper, but don't be afraid to get angry.

...year-old New York businesswoman will testify to a physical relationship between the intern and the President. Dale Young, an alleged Lewinsky confidante reportedly told the magazine that Lewinsky had claimed she and the President had engaged in foreplay, but that "nothing was ever taken to conclusion." Adding new detail to the coy speculation over the latitude of definitions involved in the President's denial of the relationship, Young was quoted as saying, "He felt it wasn't really oral sex if it wasn't completed...
