...hoping for some interesting answers, but when I ask to speak to a press person, the guy on the phone responds, "You're talking to him." I ask him for his name and title, but he replies, "my name is unimportant in the realm of things." Then our conversation takes a turn for the bizarre. He immediately volunteers that the "water pipes" are made in an "undisclosed location in Arizona" but cautions that Graffix is no longer "stressing" them. "It's a very lowkey deal," he assures me and he'd just as soon not talk about the pipes...

Other Clinton ideas--like using tax credits to encourage responsible behavior--were picked up from Coats...
...beauty of Dole's life is that he found the perfect place for a solitary man who wants to help other people but is allergic to being helped himself. Next to the Supreme Court, the Senate is the most private realm of public life, a closed club with rituals and codes and rules about how to dress and what to call one another and where to sit and what to say. It is a place where two doorkeepers stand like griffins by nearly every door, where the interns in the cloakroom will unwrap his Snickers bar for him, where everyone...
