...Little Rock headquarters. Even now, the Clinton campaign has an informality that would make a Republican organizational purist wince. Wright, in fact, laughingly calls the campaign structure mystical. To understand the dramatic summer transformation of Clinton's candidacy from junker to juggernaut, take a closer look at the triumphant trio in Little Rock...
...loves Bush. By keeping U.N. inspectors in search of weapons documents out of the Agriculture Ministry for 18 days, then allowing them inside only after insisting that no Americans could be on the team, Saddam was able to portray himself as a leader on the comeback trail, tenacious and triumphant even against a superpower foe. Senior U.S. and British officials believe that one reason Saddam provoked the showdown was to assert his authority after uncovering a coup plot two months ago that resulted in 200 executions. If Saddam can embarrass Bush and contribute to a Republican defeat in November...
Gore, however, has grown in political skill and public approval, while Quayle has not -- as both men demonstrated vividly last week. Campaigning arm in arm with Democratic presidential nominee Bill Clinton on a triumphant bus tour that attracted enthusiastic crowds through the Midwest, Gore managed to excite voters as he seldom did during the 1988 primaries.

To date, it is her proudest achievement...
Barcelona is and always has been a place of industry. In fact, for most of the 19th century it was the only industrial city in Spain, a sort of Mediterranean Manchester raised to wealth on cotton, silk and metal, presided over by a triumphant bourgeoisie and racked by working-class (especially anarchist) rebellion. Catalans are archetypally producers rather than dreamers, and they tend to pride themselves on what they call seny, common sense raised almost to the level of a theological virtue. They like you to know they have molta feina, a work overload. They do not see themselves...
