...didn't consciously think, 'Maybe I should be real low-key and stay in my house.' Instead I was like, 'I'm 21 and I can go out and have a great time and sort of experience the whole college life,' if you will. I made myself an easy target. But that was a really long time ago." That, of course, depends on your definition of "really long." (Last year she agreed to undergo anger-management counseling after breaking a beer bottle over a car.) But surely no one, no matter how famous or petulant, should have to have...
...Bill Clinton and the Democrats this year, Senator Alfonse D'Amato is Target One--the Republican they most want to knock off. Running for his fourth term, the gruff, perpetually embattled New Yorker, who barely squeaked past a weak Democratic challenger six years ago, is considered one of the G.O.P.'s two most vulnerable Senators (Lauch Faircloth of North Carolina is the other). If the Democrats can beat them, it would help avoid a 60-seat G.O.P. majority and hold down the number of hostile votes in what may become Clinton's impeachment jury. But for the President...
Modern is British Prime Minister Tony Blair's favorite word. Blair is forever telling us he wants a modern country with a modern democracy. Unfortunately, he finds himself in charge of a very old-fashioned nation. So he has set himself the visionary target of "rebranding" Britain.

Under plans unveiled last week by Baroness Jay, the Labour...
...what ever happened to that family-friendly Las Vegas? Demographics. The target audience is now 50 and ready to travel without the kids. "Imagine," says Circus Circus president Glenn Schaeffer, "somebody will turn 49 every 13 seconds for the next 15 years, and they have the highest household income and the fastest spending rate." Circus pioneered the low-end family concept during the late 1970s and made it work for more than a decade. But Schaeffer was brought in after a management shakeup to arrest declining numbers...
...least one group in Washington has escaped the long arm of the LEWINSKY scandal: AmeriCorps. The national service program is a favorite of PRESIDENT CLINTON'S, and its supporters were worried that it might be a target for his congressional critics. But the four-year-old program has won over skeptics by emphasizing its grass-roots structure and its alliance with respected nonprofit organizations around the country. Members are selected by and work for such groups as Boys and Girls Clubs of America and Habitat for Humanity. AmeriCorps prevailed on a key Senate funding vote in July...
