WASHINGTON: There will be no heartfelt confession beamed to every television in the land. That was the signal emanating strongly from the White House late Monday, as aides made a concerted effort to quash the near-universal clamor for President Clinton to address the nation on the subject of Monica Lewinsky. Anonymous senior staffers started popping up all over the media, insisting there was no mea culpa in the works -- before or after his August 17 deposition.

...Meanwhile, the question "How can it be dirty if you study it as an academic subject?" is examined in Los Angeles as registration begins for the four-day World Conference on Pornography.

Of course, managed care is flawed, but with an aging population and increasingly sophisticated--and expensive--technology, it is becoming almost impossible to align the ideal components of a successful health-care system: access, quality and cost containment. One solution is to make employers provide the sources for coverage but let the employee shop around for the best HMO that meets his or her needs. That way responsibility for health...
