...nothing here is simple or comforting. Take the testimony of Dolly Kyle Browning, a Texas real estate lawyer who has known Clinton since childhood and claims to have had an on-again, off-again sexual relationship with him from the mid-1970s until 1992. In January of that year, while Clinton was weathering the Gennifer Flowers storm, Browning says she got her first taste of intimidation from the candidate's camp.

Federal aid to cities has fallen sharply in the past 20 years, and urban tax bases have eroded as businesses and affluent residents have fled to the suburbs. Since the mid-1970s, when New York and other big cities teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, mayors have had to work hard just to stay afloat: they literally can no longer afford to preside over bloated bureaucracies or coddle unions at contract time.
