...charge, to say the things no one else will when she tells her old man to clean up his language (Bess Truman), eat his broccoli (Barbara Bush), upgrade his jogging shorts (Hillary Clinton) or remind him with a Post-It note on the bathroom mirror to "Smile" (Elizabeth Dole). And to do it all with the curtains open and the lights...
There may be little privacy at all in the First Marriage, but there is still plenty of mystery, which suggests one reason why friends of Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Dole say each is obsessed with the other. They can't help noticing all they have in common, these two devout Methodist daughters of prosperous families, both Ivy League lawyers who married men of modest origins and vast ambitions.

The fact is that both sides are pandering to the voters, hoping that citizens will believe them long enough...
...will be doing ourselves a great disservice if we choose our president simply based on what he preaches according to where he is standing and in relation to the timing of the election. When Bob Dole defends the tobacco industry while in tobacco country, but plays a different tune when addressing the rest of the country, the voters must take note of the disparity. When President Clinton makes campaign promises and compassionately talks about issues without making actual substantial efforts to adopt and implement his promises, we must take notice and call his bluff. If we entrust the executive branch...
