...best line of the night came from an amazingly calm Mike McCurry, on remote from the White House briefing room, who ascribed Air Force One's mud delay to a "conspiracy under the right wing." (Scooping Leno with the joke, it turned out). In the end, the point Jeff Greenfield failed to make, despite a poll showing that 72 percent think there's "too much" coverage of Sexgate was: We're only doing it for you, dear reader! If you didn't want this stuff, why would news magazines, web sites and broadcast news programs like those...
...shocks Lewinsky lawyer Ginsburg by telling him that the New York Times plans to print something about Monica's answering machine and what the President purportedly said on it. Then, 15 minutes later, he recants, saying he had no idea what the Times was going to print.

But the renowned iron patriarch that stamped these small stories into history has been whisked away to oblivion. A couple of muscular men from Kansas City, Mo., came through the print shop of the Adair County Free Press and wrenched out the press, hauling it off to a printing plant in Princeton, Ill. The paper will now be printed on a similar press 20 miles down the road and delivered to Greenfield by van--another change in the constantly shifting...
