When Monica left her videotaped deposition at the Mayflower Hotel last week, she was her usual Garboesque self: a shock of black hair, a fashion statement and silence. Unlike her pursuers on Capitol Hill, who brake for cameras, she plows determinedly through the crowd--never a comment, never a pose, never a clue. This encourages others to cast her in whatever role suits their favorite story line: starstruck ingenue, thong-flashing temptress, duplicitous home wrecker, innocent victim, Vanity Fair vamp or troubled product of a broken home in need of ministering, the kind only a President can give...
...speed of the collapse, when it came, was breathtaking, and proof that world markets had entered a new and much more volatile phase. Summers has a favorite analogy: "Global capital markets pose the same kinds of problems that jet planes do. They are faster, more comfortable, and they get you where you are going better.

Since August officials in Chicago have been spraying infested trees with purple and green fluorescent paint, marking them for doom. In the hardest-hit parts...
Drum starts; Katryna Nields strikes an akimbo pose in mid-jumping jack. She is beautiful. Her band, the Nields, something that just graduated from Yale, giddily rocks Sanders Theatre: thirty-and-up Cantabridgians stand to applaud. Where is Joan Baez, who came to Club Passim barefoot and left a star? She played last. And reuniting earlier in the show with their banjos and mandolins were the Charles River Valley Boys, Harvard alumni from the 60's. At its 40th Anniversary Concert, Club Passim looked back, looked forward, and its music squirmed between the weight of history and the multiple identities...
