...Rattner and his wife are known for throwing lavish parties in their Manhattan apartment. Close friends of the Clintons, Rattner and White reportedly hosted the President and First Lady at a Martha's Vineyard party in the summer of 1998, while the Administration and country were still reeling from the Monica Lewinsky affair...

But that was a month ago. Now she is at Manhattan's Tompkins Square Park at 2 pm on a Tuesday, tossing an office telephone down a measured runway in the very first, and possibly only, Unemployment Olympics. "It's not like I have anywhere I have to be," she says, "I mean, not anymore." She is competing in the same white Nikes...
