...standing-room only crowd in the Starr Auditorium shouted its answers—usually around ten years old—Dukakis put his hand to his face and exclaimed with a smile, “I used to be a young...
...skittering drum machine beat that might impress a Jamaican dance hall producer, and, accompanied by piano, horns and synthesizers, proceed to harmonize Crosby, Stills and Nash-style before they let loose with pounding real-life drums and electric guitar. Mason's baritone is only slightly brighter than Ringo Starr's, and his delivery is just as lackadaisical. His voice is merely the cool whipped cream atop the shimmering Jell-O mound of guitar and synthesizer sounds; the words he utters are of secondary importance.

...Olson is now solicitor general, having spent part of the last 8 years helping out with the American Spectator's zealous prosecution of Bill Clinton -even as his wife, Barbara Olson, who used to work for Dan Burton, appeared on a fleet of TV talk shows defending Ken Starr's investigation of Clinton.

You have regular protests outside Sudan's embassy in Washington, and some of those arrested there are being defended by a legal double team of Johnnie Cochran and Ken Starr. And one of the Christian groups working down there is Samaritan's First, which is headed by Franklin Graham, son of Billy. Sudanese government forces have even bombed Graham's hospital. And of course, Al Sharpton went down there to witness slavery, and many more black leaders in the U.S. have...
