...second week in a row, Gore clung to his defenses: that he didn't know where the cash had ended up, and that he had broken no laws with his fervent fund raising on federal property. Gore, say his allies, cares far more about fiber optics and digital libraries than soft money and matching funds. On ethical issues, said a longtime aide, "he never gets close to the line...
Police investigators say some witnesses report hearing Diana repeat, "Oh, my God." But the fervent silence of the most trustworthy witnesses has allowed myths to grow.

The graphic designers, software gurus and other artsy types who constitute the Mac's most fervent cadres are a disproportionately influential market niche. Some two-thirds of all Websites are thought to have been created on Macs. "It's very attractive to Microsoft to have access to cutting-edge Mac developers," says Kurt King, an analyst with San Francisco-based Montgomery Securities, "particularly in areas like video streaming and other graphics technologies that represent the likely future...
