...hours with President Bill Clinton, who had just helicoptered back to the White House. The night had been a long give-and-take over security issues; a give-and-take that seemed to be moving in the same circles the Israelis and Palestinians had traveled for months, even years. "Hello?" Netanyahu said. "Happy Birthday." It was Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, calling to congratulate the Prime Minister on his 49th. "Is that really all you called for?" said Netanyahu. A few hours later, he had another surprise: flowers from Yasser Arafat. And a call from some Palestinian delegates...

As Brumleve demonstrates on his web page, it is possible to download a short, 30-line javascript program that will snatch information from a Netscape user's hard drive. Specifically, the flaw allows web sites to scan your cache without setting a cookie -- in other words, make off with a list of all those places, naughty and nice...
...against this busy backdrop, this social whirlwind of a life, that the December visit that caused Monica so much anguish took place. Mondale was in town to cover the Kennedy Center honors, and remembers it like this: "I briefly stopped at the White House to say hello on my way to interview the honorees, as our families have been friends for decades.
