...Possessing more cachet are new bikes that boast classic style but modern components, like ItalJet's Velocifero and Dragster models, favorites of Michael Stipe and Martha Stewart. ("Vintage without the repairs," says ItalJet USA's Joel Sacher.) Even these don't cut it with diehards like New York lawyer Tom Giordano. "Finding a charming, rusted-out relic and turning it into a jewel," he says, "that's a big part of the love affair...

...full disclosure. After all, said Orrin Hatch on "Meet the Press," the American people are a forgiving bunch, so if George W. Bush has anything to tell us about past cocaine use he should "just answer the darn question and get rid of it." Gary Bauer, Dan Quayle and Tom Daschle also dutifully hit the shows to push for a tell-all. One exception: James Carville, who argues in TIME this week that once you start answering these questions there's no way to get out of it alive: "Because once you start answering, you're never going...

When Bradley criticized Clinton, he also ignored a fact known to everyone in the room: with Newt Gingrich and now Tom Delay running the House, no President could launch a war on poverty. It was all Clinton could do to beat back the 1995-96 G.O.P. tide, and the Rainbow members are grateful for it--but Bradley never acknowledged that, and the omission undermined his credibility. Problem is, it's hard for Bradley to draw stark contrasts with Gore, who was cheered wildly by the Rainbow on Saturday. Bradley said he wouldn't try to reverse welfare reform but would...

...visitors just aren't polite. A sign that read WELCOME TO BURKITTSVILLE--FOUNDED IN 1824 was stolen, and someone left a candle burning in the cemetery. "That wouldn't have been a problem, except for the drought," says Sergeant Tom Winebrenner of the Frederick County sheriff's office, which fields 30 to 40 calls a day about the film. "Many still think it's a true story. When you tell them the truth, they think there's a conspiracy and a cover...
