Dartboard was surfing the Web recently when we stumbled upon a real gem, Resignation.com. Arianna Huffington, our favorite Greek-heiress-turned-pundit, has had her minions construct a site in tribute to that most dramatic of political statements--quitting. The site includes a history of notable leaders who have thrown in the towel, a list of publications which have called for the President to step down and an opportunity for people to issue their own call for Clinton's surrender...
Americans support Clinton not because he is a "good ole boy," as pundit Noonan suggests, but because we appreciate someone who is basically good-willed. Of course, he's immature and downright stupid in what he did, but he's not a bitter, cynical, meanspirited person. Being good-willed is important to us, and we'll support anyone in high places who proves to have that virtue, especially if he works as hard as Clinton. The skeptics could learn a lot from this President, if only he would grow up. JOSEPH PETULLA Berkeley, Calif...
...real life. Hearts were broken. George did join the Administration, left after one term to become a pundit, and now feels betrayed. He said so in Newsweek last week. Former White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers said something similar in TIME. But what exactly is the nature of these betrayals?

Like his book, Liu, 29, defies easy categorization. He grew up in an integrated middle-class suburb of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., the son of professionals; he went on to Yale and Harvard Law School, worked as a Clinton speechwriter and became an MSNBC pundit. As an adolescent he identified less with other Asians than with "that subset of people... who were educated, affluent: going places." He began, he says, to "imagine myself beyond race." In The Accidental Asian, Liu still distances himself from the identity politics of the multicultural left. He points out the folly in the idea that a shared...
...G.O.P. son. Two months before the primary, he has raised $360,000, most of it in fund raisers thrown from Los Angeles to New York City. His financial disclosure reports read like a Who's Who of the party, with three former Republican National Committee chairmen, a Rockefeller and pundit Mary Matalin contributing. He has a primary challenger, a white businessman who quotes "Stonewall" Jackson and is married to a former county peanut queen, which should mean that party officials must remain neutral. But Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran is ignoring protocol, having stumped for Glenn last December and narrated...
