During an especially low moment of the 1992 presidential campaign, Hillary Rodham Clinton declared that "for goodness' sake, you can't be a lawyer if you don't represent banks." Thurgood Marshall's legal career proves otherwise. Juan Williams' magisterial biography of the great civil rights lawyer and first black Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall: American Revolutionary (Times Books; 459 pages; $27.50), reminds us that there is a difference between the hair-splitting legalisms that dominate the current headlines and the rule of law that changes history. Marshall never represented a bank. His clients were African Americans deprived of their...
...always known that the most important quality a politician can have is sincerity. And no politician is better at faking it than he is. In 1980 Clinton was a failed one-term Governor until he apologized for raising car-tag fees and got his wife to drop that fancy "Rodham" business with her name. In 1992 he became the Comeback Kid, miraculously saving a crashing candidacy by quickly apologizing for causing pain in his marriage. So why on Aug. 17 couldn't he live the lie a little bit longer in order to satisfy a huge TV audience looking...
While former White House intern Monica Lewinsky makes headlines for her immunity deal with investigator Kenneth Starr, President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton are planning to be guests at Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw's estate in the Hamptons this weekend.

On Saturday: First, it's a $5,000-a-plate event hosted by composer Jonathan Sheffer and Dr. Christopher Barley, followed by a bash hosted by Alec...
...last time Hillary Rodham Clinton launched a cross-country bus caravan--during her disastrous 1994 effort to transform health care--she met catcalls at every stop. An airplane overhead towed a banner: BEWARE THE PHONY EXPRESS. In Seattle, protesters mobbed her limousine. "I had not seen faces like that since the segregation battles of the '60s," she later said. "They had such hatred...
...assigned to Clinton that Lewinsky, then working at the Pentagon, made many of her 37 still unexplained visits to the White House. A subpoena sent to the Secret Service indicates that Starr is especially interested in any off-hour visits--early morning, late night and weekends--times when Hillary Rodham Clinton may have been out of town. In particular, in his January deposition in the Jones case, Clinton testified that he did not recall being alone with Monica or meeting her alone between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. That testimony conflicts with Linda Tripp's secret tape recordings...
