...Jackson believes black folks will tolerate almost any behavior from their leaders. But this time he's gone too far. Impregnating Karin Stanford--a former political-science professor who at the time of the affair was head of the Washington office of Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH Coalition--wasn't a minor ethical lapse. It's hard to think of any act more certain to knock Jackson, who was a 56-year-old father of five when the baby was conceived, off the moral high horse from which he has preached to inner-city youngsters about the threats posed by aids, drugs...
...past few years, he has been stumbling from one pseudo crusade to another, likening every minor crisis--the expulsion of six roughnecks from a Decatur, Ill., high school; the supposed lynching of a Mississippi youth, which turned out to be a suicide--to the glorious civil rights battleground of Selma, Ala.

But I think it's evident there will be enough ground to cover...
JADING JOBS You would think no post would age a man as much as leader of the free world, but though the hair is more salt than pepper today, Ken Starr, Yasser Arafat and Newt Gingrich seem to have inflicted only minor damage on the appearance of Bill Clinton. A nonscientific survey of some other men of a similar age and high-pressure milieu suggests that interviewing celebrities and yelling from the basketball sidelines take a greater toll on a man's dewy youthfulness...
