...wasn't an academic issue. She was once married and has a daughter, Elizabeth. Though the 13-year-old and her mom have been "totally cool" about her transition from Craig to Shannon, Ware knew others weren't as lucky as she was. Another Missourian, Sharon (ne Daniel), has fought her ex-wife for six years for the right simply to visit her two boys...
Traditional battle lines have been erased as well. The doctors who fought Hillary's health plan so fiercely in 1994, then sided with Newt Gingrich on Medicare in 1995, are now allied not only with Clinton but also with their sworn enemies, the trial lawyers.

So, in true horror movie fashion, the worst may be yet to come...
...dumps ever since William Ginsburg departed. While Ginsburg was on the case, I'd figured that Kenneth Starr would eventually have to indict Monica Lewinsky, and I was looking forward to the criminal trial of the century, at least this year's criminal trial of the century, being fought out between two lawyers who had never before tried a criminal case...
