...have a little Clinton in us, and like it or not, that's one of the reasons he remains so popular. At the same time--and it's part of the same truth--those who hate Clinton the most seem to have more than the average share of him inside them, which may be one reason that spittle forms at the corners of Representative Bob Barr's mouth when he talks about the President.

In fact, I think Zelda is the best video game ever made. You'll feel as if you're playing inside your own movie. For the PlayStation console, I love the old Bust-a-Move 2 game by Acclaim ($19.99). My wife and I play it more than is healthy. There's also a four-player version for Nintendo...
