...dork sitting alone every Saturday night. We made it through adolescence without disaster and have entered a period when the perils of parenting have given way to the joys of it. And I've yet to tell her what I really did during the '70s. My own mother was fond of sighing deeply and saying, to explain anything I didn't like, "You'll understand when you have a child of your own." On the day she first heard me say to Courtney, "Because I'm your mother, that's why," she was as happy as a mother...

When The People v. Orenthal James Simpson concluded last October, America's silly season ended. Gone was O.J., nothing but O.J., from television and from the tabloids. What lingered, though, from the most avidly discussed criminal trial in the late 20th century was not fond memories of the Dancing Itos but bitter divisions and unanswered questions.

It was a moment when he could have tacked many ways. He was fond of saying that "in a record of more than 12,000 votes, you can make a case for just about anything." So the accomplishments he chose to highlight in that tearful moment were instructive. Dole spoke movingly of his role in creating and expanding the food-stamp and school-lunch...

...thousands of journalists in Chicago this week to witness the renomination of Bill Clinton will choose that particular metaphor, or anything like it, to describe this year's incumbent President. Nor will anyone try to make the case--with a straight face--that Americans in general are particularly "fond" of their leader. Clinton faces a sullen press corps, a larger public that tolerates him at best, and a sizable opposition that despises him with extraordinary passion. Meanwhile, he lacks even a medium-size cadre of genuine enthusiasts. He doesn't have a single reliable journalistic hagiographer, though Reagan...
