...close aide, was "furious" with his wife for embarrassing Clinton. "He didn't appreciate having to defend her to American and European diplomats," says the aide. The Arafats are accustomed to playing a defensive game. Suha, 36, with her bottle-blond tresses, Louis Feraud suits and French fashion magazines, was not the wife most Palestinians had imagined for their austere leader, 70, whose dedication to their liberation is symbolized in his olive drabs, stubbly beard and standard explanation (since abandoned) that he remained a bachelor because he was married to a woman called Palestine.

Everywhere you look you see her. She's in the tabloids, the video stores, fashion magazines. I mean she seems nice enough. But I mean, come on! Am I the only one who saw Hush! As far as I'm concerned, that girl needs a hamburger and a vacation. I half expected her to walk in with Harvey Weinstein holding her train. Thank...
