...recent New Yorker magazine cover depicted Hillary Clinton as a tourist in Central Park, stalked by Mayor Rudy Giuliani as a mugger holding a cosh. The esteemed magazine may have done better to put Ken Starr behind the tree, armed with his final report. The Whitewater Special Prosecutor announced Monday that he?s moving rapidly to wrap up his investigation of the Clintons, and plans to have his final report out before the first lady makes her Senate bid. At one time, Hillary?s spin doctors may have welcomed Starr?s swansong as an opportunity to revive the image...

There we would sit, marveling at our common fantasy to be the fire-eater in the circus, and at our shared instinct that we would both play dumb if approached by a mugger--facts that would never have come to light if it had not been for Datamatch. Another success story for the cupids on the council...
...STORY, Aug. 7]. Hughes marshals the arguments with rare pellucidity and a cool passion that cuts like a laser. There's a wonderful line in John Guare's Six Degrees of Separation when Ouisa says to Paul, who has lost the only copy of his graduation thesis to a mugger, "I hope your mugger reads every word [of it]." I hope the muggers of the arts and humanities read every word of Hughes' spectacular piece. BERNARD GERSTEN, Executive Producer Lincoln Center Theater New York City...
