Early Wednesday Clinton called Speaker-elect Livingston to discuss Iraq for the second time that week, this time to say an attack had to begin immediately in order to take Saddam by surprise and avoid starting the campaign during Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar. In turn, Livingston promised the President he would delay the impeachment vote...
Kenneth Starr, who, in his interviews with TIME, compares himself to the fabled tortoise, turned out to be more enduring in his own relentless quest to frame the debate as a public, legal and constitutional issue. I visited with him earlier this month in the windowless beige conference room where every weekday this year he marshaled his troops in pursuit of Bill Clinton. He insisted that he had been falsely caricatured and thus agreed to spend hours last week with Michael Weisskopf and Eric Pooley as well as to open his office to photographer Karin Cooper...
First, what is Stern's value as a corporate asset? Not much, according to CBS, which bought Infinity in 1996 and sold 17% of it in a public offering earlier this month.

Alvarez, 36, is a light lyric tenor whose high notes are fresh sounding and secure; Cura, 36, is a weightier lirico-spinto with an impressive touch of baritonal muscle. Alvarez made his Met debut last month in Franco Zeffirelli's bloated new production of La Traviata, in which his engaging singing was overshadowed by the spectacularly vivid Violetta of Patricia Racette. Cura's turn comes with next season's opening night, when he will be sharing a double bill with his mentor, Domingo (Cura stars in Cavalleria...
