There may be only two practical ways to deal with the question of privacy for candidates, and neither relies on the self-restraint of the press, since that is a forlorn hope. The first is the "let it all hang out" approach, in which the candidate answers every question, truthfully, and relies on the good sense of the people to weigh the importance of what is disclosed. There is good reason to believe, post-Clinton, that we have arrived at a time in which the public can sort out what's important and what is merely embarrassing. Do most candidates...
...bottom of your problem. "Fatigue is so common, many doctors treat it like background noise," says Dr. Benjamin Natelson, a neurosciences expert at the University of Medicine and Dentistry-New Jersey Medical School, in Newark, N.J., and the author of Facing and Fighting Fatigue (Yale University Press, $15.95). But even if your physician can't pinpoint a specific reason for your fatigue, there are ways to manage it. For instance, Natelson has found, somewhat to his surprise, that gentle conditioning exercises such as tai chi help some of his patients with chronic-fatigue syndrome.

Later, after...
...arranges his own assassination and then, with nothing to lose but his hypocrisy, starts spouting truth-telling rap songs about corruption. Was Beatty's performance really a rehearsal? Famously cagey and deliberate, Beatty isn't talking. Yet. But seasoned Washington figures such as Bill Moyers, Lyndon Johnson's former press secretary, and Pat Caddell, Jimmy Carter's pollster, are already giving the actor a fighting chance at doing for grass-roots liberalism what Reagan did for Goldwater conservatism. Skeptics abound, of course, but one crucial fact about Beatty bears remembering as the story unfolds. He isn't just an actor...
