...vote authorizing the ethically challenged Senator Alfonse D'Amato to chair the Whitewater Committee, now are holding firm against an open extension of the hearings. After eight months there's no smoking gun, no smoking anything, just a simmering stew of subdivided Ozark property without sewer lines and endless minutiae about closing costs and mortgage points. No one knows the protagonists--imagine trying to cast the pudgy David Hale, a confessed felon and owner of a failed burial insurance company.

However, something new arises for the class of '99, for whom the transitions seem to be particularly endless. Once we choose our 16, nine-, two-person group--whatever we can agree upon--we have no guarantee that we will be anywhere near any of our other groups of friends. We are being sent off to break down the stereotypes, to change the character of the houses as just...
