...didn't kill my wife," he replies, "I don't care" -- he just has this job to do. In last year's Under Siege he was Strannix, a renegade CIA operative turned nuclear hijacker. "My, my, my," Strannix chortles, high on his own magnificent malevolence, "how hell doth quicken the spirit!" Good guy, bad guy, these are the same man: a smart, volatile, mean sumbitch with too much on his mind. "Damn, I'm good," Jones murmurs in Under Siege, implying few others merit that appraisal.

Even before that struggle begins, Clinton has to shake Brown from his pant leg, or at least figure out how to prevent the former California Governor from drawing too much blood between now and the nomination. Tsongas' departure enables Clinton to quicken his march to the nomination; he already has nearly half the 2,145 delegates he needs, while Tsongas has 430, and Brown 129. But unlike Tsongas, Brown can't be starved out of the race, because he lives off the land, foraging for petty cash with his 800 number. He vows to wage an insurgent...
