...Starr, investigate thyself. That was the tricky spot the independent counsel found himself in last week after Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder told Starr to probe charges that one of his main Whitewater witnesses took money originating from billionaire Clinton hater Richard Scaife. Happy to point out the awkwardness of this situation was presidential lawyer David Kendall. In a five-page letter, obtained by TIME, Kendall explained why Starr is the wrong man to investigate David Hale, who has accused the President of wrongdoing. Not only has Starr relied heavily on Hale?s testimony, Kendall notes...
...just a moving gesture from coach to player? Many of us have accepted the view of Rebecca Lobo, former UConn co-captain and Olympian, that the record was an in-house arrangement to which the team's family of players, coaches, fans and the previous record holder had all supported, and that therefore no one else should be concerned. Before her career-ending injury, Sales was a great player and, more importantly, an unselfish player who had sat out large portions of games to give her teammates more opportunity.

Having your course scrawled on a card in a yellow plastic holder is not a way to be memorialized; it is cheap, gaudy, insensitive, insulting. The fluorescent lights bounced off the pressed wood shelf, mocking the empty space as students rushed by, arms full of books...
...more positions than a Barcalounger. You can't listen to that old Sammy Davis Jr. tape at home because your kids will think you're a dweeb, but in the car, the audience roars as you belt out I've Gotta Be Me. Coffee steams from the cup holder, a bag of Beer Nuts sits open at your side, and God knows you're safe. The safety belt is strapped snugly across your body, and if that fails, the air bag will save your life--if it doesn't decapitate you. Little bells and lights go off if you make...
