...architect James Polshek proudly described his creation. A planetarium is, of course, only a transmitter of outer space to those of us on terra firma.

She was the first up and last to bed, handshaking her way through county fairs and college campuses, just plain outworking her opponent. And as much as yuppie women may have been skeptical of Hillary's motives, upstate women of a certain age greeted her like Oprah, an avatar of spiritual renewal touching down in Poughkeepsie. They turned out for her, stayed afterward, lined up for autographs. Her first...
