...lights last Thursday, Bill Clinton's close friend and unofficial adviser made it clear that this media circus meant little to him. "Never apologize, never explain"--that had been his motto for 17 years, ever since he left the presidency of the National Urban League after a racist gunman nearly took his life, going on to become Washington's most powerful back-room fixer. Now he had to violate that principle and offer a partial explanation of his role in the tawdry matter of Monica Lewinsky.

The gunman missed, and by day's end more than 200 heavily armed police in helmets and bulletproof vests, using dogs and helicopters, had shut down blocks of west Denver looking...
...Matthiessen's impressive, exasperating novel about the shooting, in 1910, of a man named E. J. Watson, by a mob of angry townsmen in southwest Florida. Was Watson a hardworking planter and family man who paid his bills and helped his neighbors, or a bar brawler and casual gunman who killed his hired hands rather than pay them at the end of the cane-cutting season?
