...January 1996 there was another memo to Ickes and chief of staff Leon Panetta. This one, from Evelyn Lieberman, another deputy chief of staff, urged more coffees. In 1995 and '96 there would be a total of 103, several in a good week-- enough to produce mild caffeine overload and $27 million. But the really notable part of that memo was the warning by Lieberman that during two weeks of intense activity, "staff who routinely brief the President will be asked to be flexible during this period and accept that their briefings may be considerably truncated or eliminated...
...When Leon Jaworski took over the Watergate investigation from the fired Archibald Cox, some thought the new special prosecutor would be too soft: "Quietly, efficiently, going his own way, Jaworski has turned out to be nobody's man but his own, determined that justice be done...From the White House point of view, he is no improvement on Cox.

David Ives's All in the Timing is a fast-paced comic slap in the face. Ives's collection of highly original skits--on topics as assorted as the death of Leon Trotsky and the plays of David Mamet--makes one realize just how predictable and sappy most modern comedy is. Even when writing about a commonplace subject like a couple's first meeting in a cafe, Ives maintains a hilarious, cleverly crafted style, free of cliches. Happily, first-time directors Jeremy McCarter '98, who is a Crimson editor, and Adam Stein '99 brought Ives's hilarity to life last...
