...poor Hillary wonders, "Am I running to solve a mid-life crisis? To get even with Bill? ... I'm not sure who I am anymore ... Where did I get so lost?" When the idea of a New York Senate race first surfaced in February, George Stephanopoulos gave Hillary a pat on the head and advised her not to run: "You don't need to prove anything...
Kelly Donnelly is bright and pretty and lives in Cranford, N.J. She is 13 years old, and she plays soccer. Boy, does she play soccer! Her sister Katie is 15. She plays soccer too. And their dad Pat--well, Pat drives. He drives one girl or the other to soccer practice most every day, and to Virginia for the occasional soccer tournament, and even to Canada once in a while, for more soccer.

(Steve Forbes has raised $2.7 million, just to see if he could, but of course he's mostly cutting his own checks.) On the Democratic side...
...graduate student. Survivors of all the incidents described a white man, aged 20 to 30, in a light blue Ford Taurus. At first, police offered careful demurrals as to whether the shootings were racially motivated -- "We're not saying it's not a hate crime," said Chicago police spokesman Pat Camden. "What we are saying is at this particular moment in the investigation, the elements for a hate crime are not there" -- but the later identification of a suspect from a white supremacist group indicated that they had narrowed their field of inquiry. Then came the car chase. Northwestern officials...
