...earlier, he sounded wistful rather than self-righteous. Bidding farewell to supporters in Iowa on Thursday, he asserted, "Nobody did this to Joe Biden. There had to be something there . . . to stitch together." Addressing reporters directly, he added, "I think you all have treated me fairly. I have no rancor, no complaints...
...Lanka's 16 million people were divided about the surprise peace agreement signed on July 29 by their President Junius R. Jayewardene and Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Despite the rebel rancor, the country's Tamils, 2 million strong, welcomed what they hoped was the end to a civil war that had claimed 6,000 lives since 1983 and threatened to tear Sri Lanka apart along ethnic lines.

But no one could accuse it of the air-headedness that marked...
...beau. Then a funny thing happened: Ken may have wanted to live like Wilde, but Joe learned to write like him. And believing that "anything worth doing is worth doing in public," Joe shared his sexuality with all comers, while Ken was left at home to stew in his rancor. He was the "first wife," the spurned mother, and bound to take revenge...
