...Grand Forks Yellow Pages list 143 churches and only three psychiatrists, and it would take all 146 of them to explain how a place with so much faith could lose a turn-of-the-century downtown to nearly biblical disaster while the Wal-Mart on the edge of town stayed high and dry. The Grand Forks Herald, its offices swamped by relentless Red River tides and then finished off by raging fire, moved to new quarters without skipping an edition and began publishing page-long lists of personal messages phoned in by townsfolk--messages such as "To Mary O'Leary...
Zoeller soon paid a price for saying openly what many others were thinking secretly. K Mart, the discount chain with a big African-American clientele, unceremoniously dumped him as the sponsor of a line of golf clothing and equipment, and he abjectly withdrew from the Greater Greensboro Open tournament.

...intense money game was played by Clinton in a way that gave hospitality a bad name. The speedy turnover in the Lincoln Bedroom, the java huddles with big donors, the shared stretches on Clinton's jogging route reduced the message of the presidency to "Attention, K Mart shoppers." But they also put serious pressure on federal campaign-finance laws. Now it only remains to be determined whether the pressure reached the breaking point. Though nothing made public so far is evidence that Clinton or Vice President Al Gore asked for money in the White House, which could have been illegal...
