...government resources during the past eight months and a demand that Clinton settle all legal issues with independent counsel Ken Starr, with an eye toward some admission of wrongdoing. Among those at the table or on the phone were White House officials, former Clinton aides Lloyd Cutler and Leon Panetta, top Democrats in Congress and their lawyers, including longtime Democratic counselor Bob Bauer. White House officials carefully leaked that the President has not yet agreed to accept a deal--a time-tested signal that negotiations were under way and a bargaining position established...
...White House would need to draw back into action a blue-chip crew comparable to the one enlisted by Ronald Reagan to save his presidency after Iran-contra in 1986.

...institution in Switzerland for decades, so the version that co-producers Claude Nobs and Quincy Jones brought to New York City's Central Park could have easily devolved into a tired museum exhibit. That wasn't the case. Savion Glover did a tap-vs.-congas duet with drummer Leon Parker; singer Patti Austin added a line about Teletubbies to her brisk version of Makin' Whoopee. And the best performance came from vocalist Joe Williams, 79, who sang a swinging, confident rendition of one of his signature songs, Every Day I Have the Blues, and, a few minutes later...
