...signal the next day. Unlike the political audience in Worcester, the crowd at Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard was ensconced in a church and used to the dramatic arc of a sermon--of sin and repentance. It was a celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 March on Washington, and there to introduce Clinton was Congressman John Lewis of Georgia, an authentic hero of the civil rights movement. The hours before were filled with conference calls about Russia and the impending Northwest Airlines strike, and as Clinton was riding to the chapel, he was still stitching together...
...officials funneled some of it into "hard-money" accounts (which paid for candidates' television advertising and the like), pushing many donors over their legal limits for hard-money contributions. Reno said she made her decision because there was no evidence Gore knew of the diversion. But last March, a Senate governmental-affairs committee report asserted that Gore "continued to make telephone solicitations even after being advised [of the diversion] by a DNC memorandum in February 1996." Justice Department sources confirm that Gore's possible knowledge of the transactions is one of the issues before Reno now. The Attorney General...
...strategists believe they have plenty of ammunition to use against Gore. One television spot in 2000 might begin with a clip of Clinton from this week, insisting that his denial of an affair with Monica Lewinsky had been "legally accurate," then cut to Gore squirming like an eel in March 1997, saying there was "no controlling legal authority" barring him from making those fund-raising calls.

"Democrats like this," reports Branegan. "They see it as a way out, a show of bipartisanship that would put their disapproval on the record." And then, so the script goes, Clinton can make some more contrite comments and the country can move on. There's just one problem: Those in the GOP who are already calling for Clinton's resignation might simply ignore the censure -- and move ahead...
...just angels who happen to lose control of bricks, rocks and high-powered rifles too often, how do we teach them self-control? Last week Mitchell Johnson and Andrew Golden, now 14 and 12, were found "delinquent" for blasting away at fellow students outside their Jonesboro, Ark., school in March, killing five and wounding 10. They got the maximum punishment possible for kids their age: they will be confined by state juvenile authorities until they turn 21. But it's worse than it sounds: Johnson's father was horrified at the thought that his boy would be sent...
