...response to Michael Kinsley's seven-point explanation of why President Clinton, despite being flawed and slick, is leading in the polls [THE DEMOCRATS, Sept. 2], I offer this: like him or not, he is the hardest-working President since F.D.R. Clinton puts in an incredible number of hours. He is dedicated to his work, and he zealously executes his duties. America is made up of people, some of whom work harder than others, some of whom are more talented than others, but most of whom just have a work ethic. They relate to a President who feels the same...
Stonesifer's sense of what works and what doesn't will be critical if Microsoft is to succeed outside the personal computer industry. And the world won't have long to wait: Michael Kinsley's much anticipated Webzine, Slate, is scheduled to debut June 24, and msnbc Cable, the joint NBC-Microsoft all-news cable channel, is due this fall.

A number of longtime editors, including Jacob Weisberg, Morton Kondracke, Mickey Kaus and Michael Kinsley, left during Sullivan's tenure. And one of his new hires, Ruth Shalit--whose stories included a much discussed piece suggesting favoritism to blacks in the Washington Post newsroom--got in hot water for alleged plagiarism and inaccurate reporting. After initially defending her, Sullivan placed Shalit on a leave of absence...
...MICHAEL KINSLEY, who for years played terrier to Pat Buchanan's pit bull on CNN's Crossfire, examines the Buchanan presidential run in this week's Essay. "It's weird to find myself punditizing about Pat instead of against him," Kinsley says. "During our Crossfire years I watched Buchanan's views on some subjects--foreign policy and free trade, especially--change dramatically. But one thing about Pat is that he holds his opinions with total conviction and intensity, even if they're the opposite of the views he held with similar intensity and conviction the day before." Kinsley recently exiled...
