...prefer to move in the direction Lewinsky suggests: sex first, romance later (if there's a ball game on TV, maybe romance never). But by his testimony, the President wants it understood that the sex was an expression, a culmination, of a deepening friendship. And there's a reason the President would like it to be seen that way. He has created for himself an unprecedented persona. We have always known him by his contradictions--the raging moderate, the compassionate realist, the hardheaded dreamer. But now Clinton emerges as something new: a feminist Lothario, a New Age Don Juan, Alan...
...grand jury that she "had concern." In her words: "[H]e was spending a lot of time with a 24-year-old young lady. I know he has said that young people keep him involved in what's happening in the world, so I knew that was one reason, but there was a concern of mine that she was spending more time than most."

...forget the speeches last Tuesday, the confetti and that awful, foot-high award that baseball made up just so Bud Selig could have a reason to be onstage.

Forget that apple-pie groundskeeper kid who caught the ball, for which somebody had offered $1 million, and gave it up straightaway. No, instead, look at the details. After McGwire hit the home run (see attached photo of the historic event), it turned into a Little League game. The excited new record holder forgot to touch first...
...trenches we call them the generals. They are the big-dollar stocks, the companies that make up the Standard & Poors 500. Most of the Generals go up year after year, and they buy back lots of their shares. We stock pickers hate them--and with good reason. A machine, buying shares of the S&P 500, has beaten the vast majority of stock pickers--including 77% of those who ran mutual funds over the past five years. It makes us all look...
