...With just 10 minutes remaining, Lazio pulled a thin sheaf of papers out of his jacket and waved it around. "This is a soft-money ban," he crowed. "If my opponent will agree to sign it, we'll have it in writing." Clinton asked Lazio if he'd agree to get signatures from his various political associates, who, she insinuated, have found a way to pay for campaign ads without counting them as contributions. Lazio replied he'd do whatever it took to get the deal done. Russert took up the cause, asking Lazio for specifics. Nothing got signed...
...easy. The FEC has never faced anything like this. Its first task: determine who followed the party's own nominating rules. That remains in dispute--naturally--since Hagelin forces have accused Buchanan of massive vote fraud. Hagelin supporters sent the FEC a six-page complaint, compiled an inch-thick sheaf of alleged evidence and were barely able to break for meals and their twice-daily TM rituals. "There has been a destructive process in the Reform Party for the past six months," Hagelin told TIME. Whoever gets the FEC's blessing won't be home free. The loser will surely...
...handy and highly evolved. The same flat sheet of enhanced paper is so nimble, in fact, that there is no reason why a movie could not be played on it as well.

...melancholy. How nice to discover that a change of venue hasn't changed his mood. On the 12 cuts of Bad Love, Newman still sees the world as a nasty place full of sad, warped people--and eminently worth singing about. Bad love, indeed. This is his most brutal sheaf of songs, a panorama of desperate men bleating out their lust and hate, a Raymond Carver cosmology set to music...
That doesn't mean Congress, though, with its sheaf of documentation in tow, will be any less intent on nailing both the Clinton administration (for unpatriotic negligence) and the Chinese (for -- gasp -- espionage!). Janet Reno, no stranger to calls for her resignation, looks likelier than ever to take the fall for denying the FBI a wiretap of Los Alamos scientist Wen Ho Lee. And China's Most Favored Nation status, up for renewal by Congress in June, could finally go down as well. (Though, as Beijing correctly points out -- while denying all charges -- the U.S. couldn't have gotten...
