...that Usenet groups competed for the title of Canonical Clinton-Lewinsky Joke List. The Bulgarian daily Sega crossed the Balkans--and partisan lines--to set up a Website where Clinton loyalists could leave supportive messages for the President. And the Official Monica Lewinsky Anagrams Page (I Yen Woman Licks; Slick May Win One) expanded its lexicon to include her lawyer, William Ginsburg (Bill Wins...
...maybe the third protagonist of the '60s should be conjured up.

The trick to hip-hop-fashion money, even more than offering slick styles, is somehow to get a rapper--preferably one on heavy rotation on MTV--to wear your stuff. Dr. Dre is dipped in Karl Kani, Mase gets giggy in Mecca, and Busta Rhymes is decked in Ecko. "Videos are hands down the best advertising you can have," says Mike Clark, the chief...
