I love you. I love you. I really do," and though the incessant hopeless ballads may truly make love a labor, especially after two, three, or ten, who can't be cheered up by those spirited high voices?

Hillary herself recruited topflight political hand Tony Podesta to set up shop in Illinois and take control of Senator Carol Moseley-Braun's doomed re-election campaign in its final days. "The First Lady was calling me up at home, in the office, from the road and from the White House with suggestions and ideas and a clear sense of what my personal priorities ought to be for October," Podesta says.
