...been a dream. Contributions flow in like lobbyists into Congress. Williams' main primary opponents are three longtime council members forced to answer at every stop for the various crises the city suffered. Last week opponents began raising 11th-hour questions about Williams' background--before Yale, he experimented with marijuana and hippiedom. And even after he traded his tie-dyes for bow ties, he has been flighty, leaving most of his jobs within a couple of years. Others complain that he cut procedural corners when he took over city finances...
REALITY CHECK Pressed during the 1992 Democratic primaries about whether he had broken any state, national or international laws, Clinton confesses, "I've never broken a state law, but when I was in England I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it.

Indeed, Fieger might be Michigan's fastest-rising Democrat, but he sometimes sounds more like "shock jock" Howard Stern. From disarming candor ("Sure, I smoked marijuana. And I inhaled. I'm not a liar like Clinton") to mean-spirited jabs (his favorite: Engler is the "product of miscegenation between barnyard animals and humans"), Fieger has spent his career making waves and lambasting virtually anyone who disagrees with him.

"I had never been a dope dealer; I was just...
...famous, in which a statement is true word for word but false in spirit. He will forever be known as the President who "didn't inhale," but the dodges leading up to that indelible admission are worth remembering too. When he was first asked whether he'd ever used marijuana, candidate Clinton replied that he'd "never violated the laws of my country"--then that he had "never violated any state laws." And this was true, literally. It turned out, of course, that it was in England that he hadn't inhaled...
