As other aides point out, legislative action is required for 80% of the items on Clinton's to-do list: offering health-care coverage to every American child, financing the first two years of college through Hope Scholarships, and extending the Brady Bill to wife beaters and the Family and Medical Leave Law to people who take time off for parent-teacher meetings.

After rendering the image of a peripheral character shutting a car trunk, one former B&B storyboard artist was asked by Judge to try it again, this time with "no sissy...
During the first week of school, I had just been trying to picture our large double as army barracks when under our door was slid the official Harvard list: "Occupants of Hollis 5." As we scanned the list we noticed three names: first, that of Ralph Waldo Emerson '21 (that's 1821), who lived in our room in 1818-19.
