...community is open, savvy, well-organized. Moms and dads are told, employers are educated--gay becomes not such a foreign word. Not in Hawaii. Even Ben Cayetano, the state's Democratic Governor and a man who proudly calls himself liberal, told TIME that same-sex marriage shouldn't be legal for the same reason that "marrying your sister" isn't legal...
...proceedings into an even more unpopular spectacle. Instead of cutting a deal in the House that would head off impeachment, Clinton's team is choreographing a prolonged partisan fight with Republicans over virtually every aspect of the inquiry.

He keeps repeating that he wants to do the job the people elected him to do. After years of part-time duty, he is aware, at least when it's convenient, that...
...extradition request. If Madrid drops the case, Britain will still face pressure to try Pinochet in London or turn him over to answer new charges filed in Switzerland and France. But the political fallout in Chile may persuade Britain's Home Secretary Jack Straw to veto any further legal proceedings on humanitarian grounds. "If the Spanish drop their claim, you can bet Pinochet will be on the next plane out," says Hillenbrand. And probably a little leery of vacationing abroad for a while...
