...Clintons are still mobile and on the make - he, in an inchoate, still-to-be-determined way - and have no idea where home is. They are still on an ascendant trajectory. That would seem an insult to the prestige and ne plus ultra of the American presidency, were it not for Hillary's unprecedented situation.

Other tales of conceit include her self-nomination as "favorite living author," with her choice for the 1992 Book of the Year, her own Written on the Body...
...final Crimson goal with the extra-attacker, sadly enough for the Bears, was no different. A tripping penalty was called on the Bears, the puck was dropped, it found its way to Moore, and game over. Elapsed time: 9 seconds. To add insult to injury, it was the game-winner.
