Already the 74-year-old widower has aced one test that no one expected him to face: the online magazine Salon reported three weeks ago that Hyde had an extramarital affair 30 years ago. That revelation "hurt him tremendously," says Congressman David Dreier of California, Hyde's friend and sometime movie companion. What Hyde felt was not so much personal embarrassment, say friends, as insult to his four children and his wife of 45 years, whom he still mourns since her death six years ago. Yet Hyde admitted the affair with a speed and self-effacement that set the standard...
...price of his success with a majestic dignity that even his most vicious detractors could never crack. Although he never courted the press, and was often criticized by it for his stoic public demeanor, he was one of the ablest politicians I have ever known. He understood that the test of political genius lies in the hard work of building constituencies and forging them into sustainable electoral majorities--something he did quietly but with dazzling results.

Angela Baldwin says Lincoln Community did a good job on Tyrece, and she plans to come back. That's good news for Duke, because even when hospitals buy each other up in big-dollar deals, medical practices are built one patient at a time...
...worst injury Clinton has inflicted on the nation is that he has given Starr credibility. Clinton has made it impossible for us to criticize Starr's methods and acts without seeming to defend Clinton's. And Starr is far more dangerous. If honesty is the test, Starr fails: this was and is a dishonest investigation. He gleefully created crimes by asking questions that should never have been asked, knowing that no person could answer them honestly without hurting others and so would be tempted to lie. Clinton's lies are low crimes and misdemeanors. His punishment should be, at most...
