...glad that Handspring finally unveiled its glorious personal digital assistant last week. Now--maybe--I won't have to write about PDAs for a while. I am sick of them, frankly. That type of appliance just doesn't suit me. As a writer, Web browser and unrepentant Quake player, I'm strictly a laptop kind of guy. I demand more screen real estate than you get on a device small enough to fit in your shirt pocket. Also, I don't have enough friends or business associates to necessitate an e-address book...
...Campaign finance reform is the best argument for a American third party in years, maybe ever, and it gets to the heart of what the Reform party needs to be to find the voters and constituencies that are sick of the system: issue-driven and intellectually inviting.

...look for a way in, a way to finally make Clinton pay for all the vileness he represents to them. "This committee is a bipartisan committee that's not going to be stiffed," said Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) of his Senate version of the investigation. "Frankly, we're just sick and tired of it." They are coming for Clinton on Wen Ho Lee, on FALN and Waco, on throwing money down the Russian sinkhole. Clinton, of course, has been through it all before, from Foster and Travelgate to Whitewater and you-know-what, invoking executive privilege all the while. Even...
