...just humor me now. Stick with me a second. I want to perform what eggheads call a "thought experiment." Let's suppose that Mike McCurry's statement is not, technically speaking, accurate. Let's suppose that the President was not really, truly pleased that "things are working out" for Monica Lewinsky, especially when "working out" in this instance means that she's apparently about to tell the world that he's a perjurer.

Pioneering surgeons used to wait until after the operation before claiming their 15 minutes of fame. Not anymore. In Louisville last week a team of doctors announced their intention to perform "the world's first successful hand transplant"--using a limb from a fresh cadaver--before lifting a scalpel or even picking a patient...
