...sharp anymore, and the jurors are passing notes and acting up. While they voted last week to reject Monica Lewinsky as a live witness and wrap up the trial by this Friday, Senators were twitching in their seats. Democrats teased their colleague Russ Feingold for voting with the Republicans, and the President's lawyer Greg Craig traded laughs with staunch Republican Don Nickles. During a break, the G.O.P.'s Strom Thurmond, 96, drew clementines from his pockets and, with a flirtatious grin, passed them to Cheryl Mills and Nicole Seligman, two of the President's lawyers.

Opponents of hate laws employ a simplistic and misleading argument: "All crimes are hate crimes," says Gov. Gary E. Johnson, the Republican governor of New Mexico, who has promised to veto any hate crime legislation that comes before him. No one would dispute his statement.

He began his career with The Emerging Republican Majority (1969), which predicted the coming of a new dominant conservative coalition oriented to the South and Southwest. But over the years Phillips has pioneered a kind of complexity theory of political trends. He has trained his eye as a multidimensional optic that builds its big picture from the sort of clues (cultural, ethnic, racial, religious, economic, sectional and local) that any competent state party chairman knows more or less by instinct...
