...Starr has spent seven months stalking his quarry; last week he gently laid in the bait. Lewinsky's testimony for six hours on Thursday did not leave much room for escape, for quibbles over what constitutes a sexual relationship or charges that she had an overly rich fantasy life. She told the 23 grand jurors that during a period of more than 18 months, she was alone with the President many times, that they did indeed have a sexual relationship and talked about how to conceal it. She told them about the dark-blue dress from the Gap. And while...
...rich do you feel? That's the boom-or-bust question for the U.S. economy as Wall Street stumbles through a summer of pratfalls. The great bull market of the 1990s has pumped $9 trillion into investment portfolios and encouraged Americans to spend some of their gains--a trend that has helped sustain prosperity.

Additionally, some of the symbolism inherent...
...this boardroom tell-all generating more buzz than a Yahoo IPO? Surely everybody already suspects that the Internet bull market is a shell game. But who would have guessed that one of the minor players, having failed to find money dumb enough to make him rich, would get his payback with so deft a pen? Nobody comes off clean in this vengeful little book, not the venomous heirs of Robert Maxwell nor the philistine publishers of Windows magazine nor the executives at Time Inc. (where the author worked briefly as a consultant). "I'm a writer," Wolff tells his business...
