...related, Goldberg-haunted subplot involves the small but mighty Regnery Publishing. Based in Washington, the house produces roughly 30 books a year, a disproportionate number of which slime the President in prose. Unlimited Access, the firm's huge best seller, comes out in paperback this month (lucky timing or evil genius?), fortified with four top-secret new chapters by former G-man Aldrich. Denunciations of the original edition reportedly spurred a sympathetic Tripp to contemplate her own book on the Clinton White House. Had she written it, she would have joined a Regnery stable that includes R. Emmett Tyrrell...
...retreat from any sort of common discourse back into its private little holes. No longer will anyone be concerned with the great flow of Harvard students through this august school, and no longer will anyone care what mark we leave for posterity.

In fact, it makes no donations to politicians at all. Instead, it threatens to boot them out at the ballot box--with the help of its 33 million members. The threat of seniors' wrath, not the lure of their cash, is the key to the vast, seemingly unstoppable growth of Social Security and Medicare...
...Tobin manages to turn a critique of the President's alleged affair into a polemic against Republicans and the Republican Party. Tobin compares the current scandal to Watergate; but this comparison serves only to highlight Clinton's relative innocence. While Nixon was "paranoid and plotting" and committed acts of "evil," Clinton's actions are merely "stupid" and stem from a "personal flaw." Of course, many of us have a large personal flaw and do many stupid things. Most of us, however, have never committed the felony of perjury--which Clinton allegedly...
