...thoughts about her as a carpetbagger in need of a new zip code, or worse, as the first First Lady to abdicate. For the moment, the Clintons diverted attention from the fact that they are the first presidential couple to officially take up separate residences and that this most reckless of Presidents will now be Home Alone...

There is a reckless streak in many of us, a brashness that is usually channeled harmlessly into leisure pursuits like bungee jumping or indulgences such as an extra piece of chocolate-mousse cake. But for James McDermott, 48, the former chief executive of the New York City investment bank Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, that recklessness led to the arms of an adult-video actress and then to the even longer arms of the law. The banker was charged last week with insider trading for allegedly tipping off Kathryn Gannon, 30, better known as Marylin Star, to a series of impending bank...

...Ripley does, but in studying hard. In the movie, Tom's plotting has the calculation of a Bach fugue; Dickie's avocation is playing jazz saxophone instead of painting, and he loves the dangerous freedom of Chet Baker and Charlie Parker.

...problem is that up on the stage, when he tries to tell stories not about his reckless youth or his heroic comrades but about average Americans and their everyday lives, he is working with much dryer clay. He is best when he is angry, not empathic. He blazes with indignation that 12,000 military families are on food stamps while Congress approves a $325 million aircraft carrier the Pentagon doesn't want. But when the subject turns to the dining-room-table issues that top every list of voter concerns--education, health care, moral values--McCain seems to lose some...

...Some warned against the evils of "it" pens and reckless em-dashing; others spoke more generally about replacing fluff with humor and analysis. The best part came when we asked our candidates to describe FM in three adjectives. We got some eyebrow-raising responses: "blase," "slick," "sexy," "caffeinated," "unpredictable," "hip," "light," "fast-paced," "revealing," "witty," "lighthearted," "authoritative," "entertaining," "original" and "flashy," they supplied. Last year around this time, my application proposed "sharp," "ironic" and "disenchanted." FM has changed, and I don't know what...
