...President. "My cholesterol is lower than Clinton's, and my weight's lower than Clinton's, and my blood pressure," he said in a digression during his welfare speech today. "I'm not going to make health an issue in 1996, no." Clinton took mock offense later today: "My standing pulse rate is much lower than Senator Dole's. But that's really not his fault. I don't have to deal with Phil Gramm everyday," Clinton joked...
...mock the other reasons, but there's really no need. I think, however, that Barry Goldwater would be amused at having his views classified as "liberal," and he's been around a bit longer than the Center. What makes this choice funny, though, is one of the choices for the "good" shows, the ones "aggressively promoting traditional values"--"The Commish." Guess the Center televisionwatchers missed that episode about the gay cop, the one in which opposition to gays is definitely equated with bigotry. (That show may have been from the previous season, but my point remains the same.) Whoever came...
Gingrich even used his historic joint appearance with Clinton in New Hampshire to get in a plug for his book. The President played along, joking that Senator Dole, the arbiter of morals, "hasn't given me permission to read that book yet." Now Gingrich is planning to stage a mock endorsement of it by Dole.

"I have to go through a Kabuki dance of personal ambition to get covered," said the most overexposed Speaker of all time, adding that he doesn't have to decide...
Most of the abstract painting coming out of the School of Paris in the late '40s and '50s, except for Serge Poliakoff (sometimes) and the still somewhat underrated Nicolas de Sta?l, was either self-consciously pious (religious stained glass was a favored metaphor) or mock convulsive. A hideous array of bravura squiggles by Georges Mathieu, whom French critics, for a while, regarded as Europe's answer to Pollock, reminds you how shallow this rhetoric could...
...attorney Larry Hammond, who agreed to take the case for the sum total of Bertsch's liquidated assets, which came to about $160,000. Even with all that cash, here's what Hammond says his client could not afford: a pretrial evidentiary hearing, which would have required $50,000; mock-jury preparation for $30,000 (instead, they rehearsed the case for some local lawyers and "bought them lunch''); jury consultants, $50,000; computer support; and a thorough investigation of the crime. Although there was no physical evidence linking him to the murder, in August 1994, after a two-week trial...
