...interviewed by TIME Washington bureau chief Michael Duffy and me. The former President was dressed formally, in a blue suit, white shirt and pink tie, but he spoke easily and often quite candidly about his successes and failures. The purpose was to sell books, obviously, but Clinton was also intent on adding his two cents to the never-ending partisan donnybrook that has become a central component of his legacy. In his memoirs and our interview, he launched a blistering counterattack against the people whose books and actions were not in his "non-nutcase" category--the members of Hillary Clinton...

So, as he and George W. Bush gain and fall in the polls between now and November, expect certain stocks to fall in and out of favor...
Harvard remained calm on the ensuing possession, intent to play keep away until the shot clock had been sufficiently consumed. With about 10 seconds left—and 35 ticks remaining in the game—junior captain Jason Norman took his defender to the hoop. His layup bounced off the backboard and rolled off the front iron, giving Yale one final chance...
