Hustling Pepsi on TV -- in the foxy company of a trio of backup singers hovering over the keyboard, dispensing flash-point smiles -- may do wonders for the soda, but it does tend to sell soul a bit short.

Lawmakers report that the First Lady, for all her reputed aloofness, knows the right moves. When Illinois Democrat Dan Rostenkowski suggested to Hillary that her husband was sending her into a "huge hellfire" on health care, she adroitly replied, "You know, Mr. Chairman, Chicago looks a lot better as a result...
