...chicken, blueberries and bran--one that left everyone but her and Chelsea hungry. Hugh was known to steal off to McDonald's or organize family outings from Camp David to the Cozy Restaurant in nearby Thurmont, Md., for a fix of fries. As time went on, in ever larger sweat clothes and golf sweaters bearing the White House seal, the more he wanted Hillary's approval, the less likely...
...Sitting on the blue vinyl flooring of her Bangkok hut, Jacky leans her bare back against the plank wall, her dragon tattoos glistening with sweat as she trims her fingernails with a straight razor. It has been two days?no, three?without sleep, sitting in this hut and smoking the little pink speed tablets off sheets of tinfoil stripped from Krong Tip cigarette packets.

No failure would approach the radioactivity of Clinton's HillaryCare disaster, but for Bush, the line between bipartisanship and weakness is fine indeed...
...SWEAT Perspire so heavily that you don't dare lift your arm? German researchers have come up with a novel treatment: tiny doses of the botulinum toxin--yes, the same poison that causes botulism--injected directly into the armpits. A dozen or so injections are enough to block the nerves that activate sweat glands, but the treatment works only for those who suffer from truly excessive sweating in a restricted area, such as the armpits or the hands. If you drip sweat from head to toe, better stick with a shower...
