Clinton envisions an ex-presidency like Jimmy Carter's, minus the tool belt. This week he will produce the first in a series of benefit concerts for AIDS in Africa with Kenny (Babyface) Edmonds, enough of a hip-hopper for teens to notice but not so much to remind people of Clinton's bad-boy genes. He is also helping earthquake victims in India (one trip and $10 million raised so far) and linking up small businesses in Harlem with the big ones in midtown.

...books section of Yahoo clubs (at clubs.yahoo.com and groups (at groups.yahoo.com) While chat rooms are available, most of the action takes place in postings to message boards like the Book Group List, where members engage in deep, no-nonsense talks--most recently on Milan Kundera's Immortality--that remind me of my English classes at Dartmouth. My favorite Yahoo club was Bookworms, where we talked about A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers.
