...older men on Aug. 5. Juan was found shortly after the attack and was taken to a nearby hospital. He died four days later. Sadly, there are many stories just like Juan's; but very few of these tragedies are told as loudly or purposefully as Matthew Shepard's was.

President Clinton spent the weekend raising millions of campaign dollars and riding high on a couple of hot-button issues -- the murder of Matthew Shepard and the marathon Mideast peace talks in Maryland. The former is to the '98 election what black church burnings were in 1996 -- the kind of hate crime that Clinton can really get his teeth into; a battle he doesn't have to fudge.
