Fifteen news cameras were there in Washington when Hillary Clinton officially became an about-to-run as U.S. senator from New York; Hillary didn't feel the need to show up. It's good to be the First Lady, isn't it? But now that she's formed an exploratory committee (and thus satisfied the folks at the Federal Election Commission), the only candidate in history with more family-name recognition than George W.

He was a humane critic, seldom unkind, with few foibles. (I once did hear him say, "Faulkner makes me giggle.") The books he loved most were those that bore two Fadiman standards: lucidity and a mind at work...
...parents have to commit to 4-hr. Saturday-morning sessions of U.C. Irvine's Parent Academy. There they are coached in what classes their kids need to get into college, how to gauge SAT scores and how to apply for financial aid. "These programs help parents have self-esteem, feel proud," says Mel Pelayo, a computer-network administrator who left school in third grade. "I didn't go to college, but I'm not a loser. I can help my kids...
