...hell of a ride. And through it, we were all introduced to Bill Clinton, his extraordinary gifts and his equally extraordinary weaknesses. Often, they seemed inexorably linked. Only a candidate with Clinton's resilience and abiding faith in the virtue of his mission could have survived the double whammy of Gennifer Flowers and the draft-dodge charge during the New Hampshire primary. With energy and empathy, he explained his way out of the traps he had laid--a pattern that would become all too familiar in the coming years. I learned to be careful with Clinton's words...
...YORK: Russian fears gave Wall Street another jittery ride Friday. The Dow veered wildly between a 150 point drop and a 60 point-climb, ending the day off by 114.

And she probably would have continued to rush to the defense of friends. Now those friends are wishing they had been there...
...only to find the rest of the album filled with moody self-indulgence. We have millions of vinyl records and eight-track tapes taking up space in our closets because electronics makers sold us on a digital future with no way to bring our analog past along for the ride. And speaking of rides, can't those gadget wizards replace our waning (in some climates, melting) cassette tapes with truly portable CDs that won't skip when...
