Substance-less meetings which are deftly run will not indefinitely better the council. But there is now a sense of positive momentum where for years there has been farcical stagnation...

He has occasional bouts of depression, dabbles in herbal remedies and recently took out a personal ad in New York's weekly Village Voice seeking a woman with herpes. Aside from...
...Capitol Hill about the identity of the Congressmen under investigation, O'Neill and Stokes announced that the House Ethics Committee would conduct its own probe. If ever an investigation needed a quick and fair resolution, it is this one. The public already holds Congress in relatively low esteem, and generalized accusations of sexual misconduct can only make matters worse. Said Baker: "I never thought I'd see the day when I'd rather talk about abortion and gun control...
