...Hamptons, Hillary gave up her listening tour for sweet-talking the chattering classes out of whatever Clinton fatigue they might be feeling. In one sold-out fund raiser, at the waterfront home of former Universal Studios CEO Frank Biondi in Edgartown, she took in $250,000, as her husband held court on the porch, urging everyone to join the large crowd lined up for a photo with the candidate. It's hard to know what angst he's experiencing inside, but the President is at least making a good show of being ready to step aside and take on "spouse...
...signs point to a peaceful transfer of power, and why not? Being the husband of the Senator from New York might enliven postpresidential life: building a library, making money and playing Gerald Ford golf could get dull. And, of course, it's a way to make up for the trouble he's caused. "On my visit a year ago," Hillary said at the Biondi event, "the last thing I imagined is that I would be standing here asking for your help in a run for the Senate." Indeed, a year ago some people didn't imagine she would still...
Perhaps stepping quickly to get out of a political gesture that backfired, Hillary Clinton has come out against her husband's controversial offer of early release for 16 imprisoned Puerto Rican nationalists, an initiative she had previously supported.

The New York Post, for example, accuses President Clinton of freeing the prisoners "for the sole purpose of helping his wife's Senate campaign attract Hispanic votes." But that may be reaching. "Do you see the Puerto Rican community getting excited about this or rushing out to support Hillary?s campaign? Hardly," says Branegan. Armed struggle...
Marjorie Bryan's husband died 14 years ago. That was when she lived in Mississippi, and for some time afterward she went on living on her own. Now she's 82. A few years ago, she started having trouble with her balance and taking falls. Bryan has a grown son in Georgia, but moving in with him didn't seem like the answer. It's one thing to have a roof over your head. It's another to have a life. "I didn't want to live with my children," she says. "I think it would bore me to death...
