...Santa Monica, a beach town known for its movie stars, the sun shines almost every day, palm trees sway on the boulevards--and the groundwater is poisoned. All over town, ugly drilling rigs mounted on trucks are boring 300-foot holes to trace the plumes of a pollutant that has leaked from the underground tanks of gasoline stations. The culprit: methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), an additive that makes gasoline burn cleaner but one the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified as a potential carcinogen. Half of Santa Monica's water supply is undrinkable--MTBE makes water taste like turpentine...

Several days before special prosecutor Ken Starr was due at the White House to take the testimony that would give Bartlett's one of its quotes, Hillary still didn't know that Starr had the goods on her husband. Did Clinton ever own up to her face-to-face, admit there was a stained blue dress? Klein raises the question whether Hillary's coldness was faked to make people think she was normal or whether she is normal and actually...
...been only a few years since the one major news story was the relationship between President Bill Clinton and intern Monica Lewinsky. Trysts at the Oval Office, the cigar, the Starr Report and millions of dollars spent on uncovering the most personal details of a presidents’ life were not the most productive uses of our government’s, the media’s or, frankly, our own time...
