...real or imagined, manufactured to shove Gore out from Clinton's shadow. "We have to talk about the future," a Gore aide says. "The Vice President has to define himself, and he can't do it by standing behind the President." Gore made the first move during his announcement tour 2 1/2 weeks ago, when he seemed so enthusiastic about calling Clinton's conduct in the Monica Lewinsky scandal "inexcusable" to one interviewer after another. The President, at dinners with friends, insisted he was not upset by what Gore had said about the Monica matter, only a little sore that...
...frenzied reaction to his first tour with the E Street Band in more than a decade proves that the powerful bond Springsteen has forged with his fans during the past quarter-century has only intensified. He has no record in the Top 30, and his biggest hit, Born in the U.S.A., is approaching its 15th birthday. Yet when tickets went on sale for the 15 shows that begin next week at New Jersey's Continental Arena, fans snapped up the 300,000 seats in just 13 hours...
...tour's 2-hr.-40-min. intermission-free set focuses on the early and middle portions of his career, 1975-85. But this is no oldies review.

The band sent the Berlin crowd home with a new gospel-tinged song called Land of Hopes and Dreams: "Well I will provide for you and I will stand by your side/You...
...Mainer by inclination. Although clarity was the chief virtue of his writing, he was always intentionally fuzzy on the subject of where he lived. After publication of Charlotte's Web in particular, he was bedeviled by tourists and busloads of schoolchildren arriving unannounced for a tour of the famous barn. In the New Yorker he published a series of essays under the dateline "Allen Cove," a designation that appears only on nautical maps. "That way," he said, "no one will be able to find [the farm] except by sailboat and using a chart...
...waffling Clinton? Depends on which New York tabloid you read. Like two Dobermans fighting over a juicy steak, the New York Post and the Daily News both plastered the First Lady all over their front pages on Friday, just as Mrs. Clinton was getting ready to suspend her "listening tour" of the Empire State and head back to Washington for the weekend. The liberal News put her face on the Statue of Liberty, gleefully noting that Hillary?s upcoming cover-girl party for about-to-be launched Talk magazine was back on in the Big Apple, right on Liberty Island...
