...stories appear, how many there are, and of course the facts surrounding each charge. The vehicle of revelation, a "cash for trash" tabloid or the mainstream press, is secondary. "Nor will it matter that many say extramarital affairs are irrelevant to job performance," says a depressed Clinton adviser. "An odor will develop, a stench that will eventually cause voters to say they don't want as a role model for their kids a leader who has fooled around. It is one thing to learn about affairs after a guy's President and proves that it doesn't matter...
...final reckoning, which listed 29 items, came to $1,036.40. Plus $30 for a shampoo to wash away that nasty kennel odor. Flash will be sleeping on his favorite rug underneath the Christmas tree this week. Santa may bring him a nice rubber toy to chew on instead of those lethal sticks. And how about a pet health-insurance plan for his impoverished owners...
...impulsive act. Sexton tried to kill herself many times in the course of her adult life. Or anyway, she had a long flirtation with death by overdose.

...blood pressure slightly and help prevent blood clotting, like aspirin. A recent German study showed marked reduction in blood fats, including cholesterol, among people who consumed the equivalent of one clove of garlic a day. The active compounds are probably the same sulfur derivatives that give garlic its distinctive odor. Other studies suggest that sulfur compounds may suppress the development of stomach cancer in humans and breast cancer in laboratory animals. Garlic does not have to be eaten raw, but deep frying and high heat could destroy its active ingredients. If the idea of fresh garlic is just too malodorous...
