...year's work finally paid off, especially on Capitol Hill. Democrats knew the attack on Clinton threatened them too, and that survival depended on getting past both their disdain for him and their history of mutual backstabbing. The armistice talks began after the 1996 election as an effort to heal the wounds of the divisive campaign, but it was the scandal that forced Clinton into his fellow Democrats' arms. Without them he could not survive...

There was already a rumored replacement by day's end, an obscure Illinois Republican named Dennis Hastert...
...argues that finance work is necessarily humanitarian because the "invisible hand" will soothe and heal all. But the invisible hand knows no morality and doesn't care for people's pain. Though the numbers (stock points, profit margins, etc.) by which investment bankers make decisions are amoral, the decisions they make can determine whether working people have the jobs that allow them to feed their families and whether communities thrive or atrophy. The investment bankers and consultants guiding the merger of Mobil and Exxon into one great leviathan seem little concerned with the 9,000 factory workers expected...
