...gazing at a sunset, in color-matching a wardrobe, in having her beside me in times that were difficult, in dishing a new movie and in discussing which politicians were telling the truth. Truth was what she was most open-minded about. My friend the truth liver, truth teller and truth maker is gone. But not really. We often discussed life after life. I'm sure I'll be hearing from her. And I'll smile through my tears because she won't find it surprising...

...than journalism has yet been able to provide: that of course the better angels of Clinton's nature are in bed with his devils, that each side requires the other, that his political gifts can't be separated from his personal flaws. Idealist and cynic, moralist and seducer, truth teller and liar, misty-eyed romantic and gimlet-eyed backstabber--it's all one package. Maybe the right leader for now is the one who will stop at nothing, the one who can be absolutely sincere while lying through his teeth...
