The White House responded to the note Thursday by repeating the President's previous assertions that he does not recall making telephone solicitations from the executive mansion, but cannot rule out the possibility. In the meantime, until a clarification of the existing law comes down the pipe, the White House appears content to play legal hopscotch. While White House counsel reportedly advised employees not to make any phone solicitations from federal property, Gore has said he understood...
...Sports cars and magazine covers swiftly followed. Romero in particular wore the mantle of pop-culture godhood with aplomb.

Grobmyer, a Little Rock lawyer and former Clinton golfing buddy, last year got virtually free range of the Executive Mansion to push the idea for a company he represented. Even though he was shot down in the end, Grobmyer made bridge-building history: his project combined Baker, the firm's counsel; Alex Copson, a sometime bass player with the British rock band Iron Butterfly; and Dan Murphy, a retired admiral who had held top jobs in the CIA and the Bush vice presidency.

...seem to find his Heisman Trophy. Or, for that matter, an Andy Warhol painting, not to mention $100,000 in personal loans and $72,000 from the sale of his two cars. Every time over the past year and a half that he has left his Brentwood mansion, Simpson claims, he has come home to find it mysteriously "less congested." A frustrated Daniel Petrocelli fumed that O.J. displayed "a complete lack of candor" during the hearing. But Simpson says he simply can't find the stuff: "I wasn't around when they took those things. I don't know what...
