...None of this ethical purity would have been possible without a $9 million surplus left over from the 1993 Inaugural. The rest of the $30 million cost will be offset by the sale of tickets and trinkets, like the $39.95 bronze medallion, featuring likenesses of Clinton and Al Gore, available from the qvc shopping channel. (During one brief three-hour segment, buyers phoned in orders for the commemorative item totaling, on average, $10,800 a minute.)

At our last meeting, these questions don't seem to engage him. As I wander out of his office, he offers none of life's standard see-you-again-someday pleasantries, but he agrees that I should feel free to E-mail him. So I pose the questions, along with some more mundane technical ones, in a message a few days later. Answers to the tech issues come promptly. But he ignores...
