...this chance to make a good first impression." Lectern-thumping and name-calling for the paying faithful is standard operating procedure for a political convention. But it may not look so good under the daily spotlight of a long and scrutinized campaign. As Lazio comes on in a telegenic rush, Clinton is quietly creeping around the state, sticking steadfastly to issues and safe shots like Lazio's ties to Gingrich. Her negative ratings are already high enough to give the ghost of Nixon himself a shot at this thing, and they were that way before Lazio ever said a word...
...unless you get cornered by a grizzly bear on your summer vacation or go into labor while trekking across the Mojave Desert, there are few times in life when you really need a cell phone. More often than not, you're just chatting with a friend while stuck in rush-hour traffic or asking your wife what flavor ice cream she wants you to pick up at the grocery store.

And while missing a few dentist appointments isn't likely to kill anyone, years of neglect could take their toll - in ways most people might...
Raising an outcry (and images of Elian Gonzalez), the Thai community successfully sued to stay the INS's hand. "No investigation had been made as to who was the rightful custodian," says Chanchanit Martorell of the Thai Community Development Center. "What was the rush?" Meanwhile, the boy's paternal grandparents have applied for U.S. visas to claim him. His mother is now the most scorned woman in Thailand. After saying she knew nothing of the smuggling, Tabtim Kaewtaengjan tearily confessed to reporters that she was an unfit mother. Her son, it turns out, had been used twice before on smuggling...
