...most hardened pros could scarcely imagine the assignment Clinton took on. He stood Tuesday night before an audience that included the Senators who are in the process of deciding whether all the ways he dishonored his office warrant stripping him of it--and then he flaunted its power and magic, bet the farm, promised the moon, massaged his approval ratings, and went out the very next day, even as his own lawyers were in the Senate defending him as a louse who still deserved a break, and thanked the roaring crowds of Buffalo, N.Y., for "one of the great days...
...very least, however, China's new military tools will alter the balance of power in Asia. Explains Ralph Cossa, who heads the Pacific Forum Center for Strategic and International Studies in Honolulu: "China isn't trying to project power to San Francisco Bay.

But Clinton, like every President before him, will do everything in his power to suggest otherwise. There was never much chance that Clinton would delay his speech until the trial was over. Never in memory has a President had so much to brag about and so many reasons to do it loudly. Clinton, forever the luckiest of men, is the luckiest of Presidents...
