...conclusion to this saga is unlikely soon, since Radcliffe's leaders have been forced to perform a precarious juggling act: institutional planning in one hand, media relations in the other...
...slam, for the uninitiated, is a kind of poetry Olympics in which poets perform their work before a panel of judges randomly chosen from the audience. Each performer is rated on a scale of 0 to 10; the highest cumulative score wins. It is poetry as team sport; Emily Dickinson vs. Langston Hughes on the wrestling mat.

With that, Clinton may have been given the room to offer a technically "true" denial to the question of whether he had sex with Lewinsky--even if she happened to perform fellatio on him.
