...active people. Take me, for example. Until a couple of months ago, the most exercise I got in an average day was the walk from my car to a Silicon Valley press event, at which the refreshments generally ranged from chocolate-covered pretzels and Coca-Cola to chocolate-encrusted peanut clusters and Coca-Cola. Despite repeated right-index-finger exercises (mouse clicking, Palm Pilotactivation and cell-phone dialing), my extra pounds were starting to tip the proverbial scales. By how much? Let's just say that if my weight were my age, I would have been born some years before...
...have a schizophrenic approach to money management. I will eat a bagel with peanut butter for dinner two nights in a row, then blow $10 on a fancy deli sandwich for lunch. I will scour Filene's Basement for $5 tights to wear with my $200 boots. I am even tempted to get a $99 color inkjet printer to go with my spiffy $2,500 PC. It all boils down to priorities.

...wrong: Clinton was better to comedians than any other President in the 20th century. Most Presidents give you one good hook--Ford fell off airplanes, Reagan made a movie with a chimp, Carter owned a peanut farm. But Clinton was wildly generous to the comedic mind. In 1992 he served up an exotic tapas buffet of premises that included his saxophone, his too-short jogging shorts, his light-switch "sincerity" and his McDonald's fetish. And as we began hungrily digging in, he emerged with a hearty stew of Gennifer Flowers, "I didn't inhale" and Whitewater...
