Charlie Rangel knew he had Bill Clinton cornered. Air Force One was streaking toward Mexico early last week when Rangel, the 14-term Harlem Congressman with the incomparably raspy voice, buttonholed the President on board and began advocating for his favorite cause: that Hillary Rodham Clinton should run for the Senate from New York in 2000. But the President didn't need any persuading. "He was more excited than I've ever seen him about anything," Rangel says. So Rangel moved on to the First Lady. For weeks he had been goading her about running. Now he told...
...Medical Leave Act, now six years old. Though about 2 million people a year take parental leave under the act, only half a million of them are men. Kevin is working to even the scales. He has testified before a federal commission and even got a mention in Hillary Rodham Clinton's book It Takes a Village. But the biggest changes are back home.

After surviving the most painful year one could imagine, Hillary has begun to do something no other First Lady--not the second Mrs. Wilson, not Nancy Reagan, not even Eleanor Roosevelt--ever did: create a political base independent of her spouse's. In the new TIME/CNN poll, 70% view her favorably. And her popularity has caused talk, encouraged by New Jersey Senator Robert Torricelli, a close White House ally, that she may run for the Senate from New York...
When Eleanor Roosevelt left the White House, she told the press, "The story is over." That prediction turned out to be far off the mark. No one would think it about Hillary Rodham Clinton. The next act will be, I suspect, even more fascinating for the woman who continues to change the rules and the role of the First Lady...
