...EARLY 1992, AS CLINTON ENDURED A BRUISING PRIMARY campaign for the White House, Whitewater came back to haunt Bill and Hillary. Jeff Gerth of the New York Times began poking around Arkansas, interviewing McDougal and others about Madison and Whitewater. Hillary called her good friend New York lawyer Susan Thomases. She told Thomases that a reporter had stumbled onto a "stupid" investment she and Bill had made, and that the whole deal made her furious, especially at her husband. He'd got them into it, she said; McDougal was his friend. "I don't want everyone digging into our personal...
...unstable Cory, the world outside of the clinic is no more comforting. Ghoulish faces stencilled in silver all over the walls haunt her. Not even the smooth, bad-ass lingo of her friend 9eyes (David Jacobs) can help to calm her down from either a bad trip or serious withdrawl.

Lamar Alexander, trying to convince voters he was more than the "least worse" choice, had to roll out a refreshened agenda even if its contents, such as the abolition of food stamps, might come back to haunt him. Steve Forbes had to decide whether to admit he had been running an ugly race, cage his pit bulls and run on his strengths instead of his enemies' weaknesses. And Pat Buchanan, who reinvents Republicanism when he offers dispirited workers a vision of paradise, had to decide how much...
...Dole so wounded as last week's freeze frame suggests. Dole has 2 1/2 weeks, a political lifetime, to regain the lead in New Hampshire, during which time Forbes will finally face the scrutiny afforded a front runner. Though Forbes has no real political record to help or haunt him, he is sure to have to answer for ideas he has promoted in his magazine, from his support of Gerald Ford over Ronald Reagan for the 1976 nomination and his (now modified) laissez-faire attitude toward illegal immigration to his proposal for a $1.50 gas tax and for repealing...
