...doll couple atop a cake at the wedding of popular art and social responsibility. He made, and she starred in, movies that played like fantasies of their partnership. Offscreen, their liaison produced the portrait of an ideal postmodern family. Unmarried, they lived apart yet loved together. While nurturing a rainbow coalition of privileged American kids and children salvaged from the Third World, Mom and Dad lived the city's most public private lives. Tout New York was their movie set, Madison Square Garden their all-star playground, the chic eatery Elaine's their kitchen. Central Park was their shared backyard...
...Bill Clinton on the secret payroll of Sony Music Entertainment Inc.? The question arises because of the publicity bonanza Clinton bestowed on one of the company's artists, rap singer Sister Souljah, by publicly attacking her at Jesse Jackson's National Rainbow Coalition convention in Washington. As a surprised and obviously angry Jackson seethed on the stage, Clinton repeated a Washington Post story that quoted Souljah saying after the Los Angeles riots, "If black people kill black people everyday, why not have a week and kill white people? . . .

...browbeat Clinton for concessions. Lenin is supposed to have written, "Capitalists are so hungry for profits that they will sell us the rope to hang them with." Souljah has reformulated that maxim in light of the go-for-it '90s.

Common decency dictates that those seeking high office be willing to condemn the rap singer's racist ravings, but Jackson perceived a "character flaw" in Clinton's "sneak attack" on Souljah at an "emergency" meeting of Jackson's "rainbow coalition." Speaking of himself in the third person (an affectation common to megalomaniacs), Jackson denounced Clinton's courage as a "Machiavellian maneuver" designed "purely to appeal to conservative whites by containing Jackson and isolating Jackson." So Jackson is flirting with Perot and also promises a huge rally at the Democratic...
...nothing to indicate a voluntary disappearance," said a spokeswoman in the Morris County prosecutor's office. Law-enforcement officials indirectly acknowledged receipt of a ransom note after the New York Post reported that a letter claiming responsibility for Reso's abduction had been issued by a group called the Rainbow Warriors. The name Rainbow Warrior belongs to a Greenpeace ship destroyed by the French government in 1985. Greenpeace, an international environmental group, vehemently denies any involvement in the Reso incident. Investigators are uncertain that the note is anything other than a prank, and they are remaining tight-lipped...
