Fueled by this pseudo feminism, I went to the S.I. floor to meet Sandy Bailey, the editor of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED FOR WOMEN. I asked her if her magazine would ever stoop to printing a men's swimsuit issue. She said that will be the May issue. Shocked and disappointed, I asked if she needed models and offered to take my shirt off. She said she was using professional athletes as models. I offered to take my shirt off anyway.

...Kafkaesque wilds of a Terry Gilliam creation. Nimble-fingered Cusack, for instance, gets a job manning file cabinets on the 7 1/2th floor of a downtown high-rise built specially for the short-statured: the rent is great but the ceilings are barely five feet tall.

And finally, on the subject of recent past, she has been at her stoop for most of it. Since I began attending this university, she has sat atop her milk crates almost every...
...ironic that Clinton, who has always been an ardent proponent of campaign-finance reform, would stoop so low as to take money--and plenty of it--from an illegal source. The number one rule in campaign finance regulation is, after all, "do not take money from foreign governments...
