...Clinton's approval ratings wafted above it all, as scandal stories fell to a total of only 10 per week on the evening news. The tempo was set largely by the White House. Clinton's lawyers asserted new kinds of executive privilege and then appealed each defeat, and they kept refusing, once, twice, six times, to accept Starr's invitation for Clinton to show up voluntarily to tell his story. Every so often Starr got defiant letters in reply, with fresh justifications for why the President would not be available at this time...
...speculation that Clinton might be contemplating changing his story and trying to talk his way out, White House spinners kept professing confidence that Clinton would stick to his denials and be persuasive in his testimony: "You ever known Bill Clinton to be scared of 12 people?" asked one.

New data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association puts the average global temperature at 61.7 degrees (not all that hot, but remember this includes Antarctica), which is half a degree higher than anything we've ever seen...
...Dave Matthews Band (DMB) is building on that achievement with the summer's most exciting rock tour. Last week the group launched its 23-city road show with a sold-out appearance in Virginia Beach, Va., where they kept an ecstatic crowd of 20,000 on its feet despite sweltering heat. The band that once paid its dues by playing fraternity houses drew an impressively diverse coalition of college students, young suburban professionals, Lilith Fair stalwarts, fusion-music devotees and even recovering Deadheads. For fan Sarah Patejak, 18, the music's allure was that "it's all-purpose...
