...hiatus was a blessing or a curse for candidates. The shows have long since been institutionalized as a free-fire zone on politicians, where ridicule is relentless and labels harden into epitaphs. On the first strike-era Daily Show, on Jan. 7, Jon Stewart bemoaned the agony of watching Mike Huckabee give a victory speech in Iowa with action star Chuck Norris--"Chuck Norris!"--looking over the candidate's shoulder, yet having nowhere to do a Chuck-and-Huck gag the next night...
Like virtually all other players, Clemens refused to be interviewed by the Mitchell team. Now, though, he can't stop talking: on his website, to Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes and in a press conference that Clemens called, then stormed out of. All these were warm-up pitches for the Rocket's next big game, in front of a congressional committee on Feb. 13. McNamee has also been called to testify...
...performance--for a control pitcher like Greg Maddux. But Clemens' forte was always power: throwing a 95-m.p.h. fastball that could depilate a batter's eyebrows. That was the Clemens on display at his Jan. 7 press conference. Staring down reporters with the same intensity he lasered at Mike Piazza in 2000 (just before he beaned him), Clemens played the tape of a recent 17-min. phone call he'd had with McNamee.

Still, 990,000 vinyl albums were sold in 2007, up 15.4% from the 858,000 units bought in 2006. Mike Dreese, CEO of Newbury Comics, a New England chain of independent music retailers that sells LPs and CDs, says his vinyl sales were up 37% last year, and Patrick Amory, general manager of indie label Matador Records, whose artists include Cat Power and the New Pornographers, claims, "We can't keep up with...
...past week has showcased our team at its best. Michael Scherer, a former correspondent for Salon.com penned a dispatch on Governor Mike Huckabee for this week's issue, while the indefatigable Jay Newton-Small, with the Obama campaign, posted numerous scoops on Swampland. Assistant managing editor Michael Duffy brilliantly analyzed the results out of Iowa and New Hampshire on TIME.com The magazine cover story was written by editors-at-large Nancy Gibbs, who has written more than 100 TIME covers, and David Von Drehle, who came to us from the Washington Post and wrote and reported...
