...other worldwide tomfoolery: British newspapers went overboard, as usual, with tall stories of the sublime and the ridiculous. The buttoned-up Independent carried an "exclusive" leak on plans for Tony Blair's modernized House of Lords, in which their lordships will be chosen from the public by lottery. The tabloid Daily Mail went for something a bit fishier: "Red Herring Returns After 500 years...
...claims to have had an on-again, off-again sexual relationship with him from the mid-1970s until 1992. In January of that year, while Clinton was weathering the Gennifer Flowers storm, Browning says she got her first taste of intimidation from the candidate's camp.

...guest star. His role is not so much supporting as hovering--like God in the Old Testament. He shows up occasionally to bring fear, awe or happiness to the mortals who are at the center of the story. He asks them to slaughter their first principles, hurls plagues of tabloid headlines their way, gives their lives meaning and hope with his captious majesty. Except, of course, that Jack isn't God. In luring his team toward corruption, twisting their idealism into realpolitik, Stanton is Satan...
