First came the launch into fame and myth: the New York Times devoted its entire front page to Lindbergh and his flight. When Lindbergh visited England on the way home, King George V greeted him and said, "Now tell me, Captain Lindbergh. There is one thing I long to know. How did you pee?" New York's Patrick Joseph Cardinal Hayes welcomed him home: "I greet you as the first and finest American boy." TIME beatified Lindbergh as its first Man of the Year...
...Bill Clinton for preying on the naive intern Monica Lewinsky. But a younger Lucianne Goldberg--Goldberg the writer--is the author of a work that Lewinsky could easily have used as a guide in her frolicsome thong baring. The 1971 book, co-written with Jeannie Sakol, is a 174-page critique of feminism called Purr, Baby, Purr, in which the authors advise women to "Stop Bitching!

...producer who proved the point this summer with his remixed album of classic Miles Davis recordings, probably a jazz first. There is also a new version out of the 1958 film Touch of Evil; it is unique for having been re-edited according to the dictates of a 58-page memo written by Orson Welles after the film had been taken away from him by Universal Pictures.

But once it became clear that the rodeo's big-money sponsor, U.S. Tobacco, planned to hang signs in the arena and hand out free samples of that cowboy staple, Copenhagen and Skoal chewing tobacco, the American Lung Association took out full-page ads in the local newspaper in protest. This prompted M.S.U. president MIKE MALONE to invoke the new campus antitobacco rule and cancel the event, sending national organizers off to look for a tobacco-friendly site, perhaps Oklahoma City or Las Vegas. One man's vice lord, of course...
...Lewinsky case, President Clinton's grand jury testimony tape was distinctly disappointing. Indeed, very little of what the President said -- from his definition of sex in the Paula Jones case to his defense of the gifts he gave Lewinsky -- could not be read or inferred from the 445-page Starr report. What had remained unseen, until Monday, was the way it was delivered. And while his text amounted to hairsplitting and none-too-subtle filibustering, Clinton brought all his speechmaking skills to bear in his testimony. "Legal parsing looks a lot better on TV than when you sit down...
