...sure enough, as the pack of horses approaches the final turn, the Suffolk Downs audio system tells me that Land Ahoy and Two Mikes are running one and two--just as it says on my betting slip. As visions of expensive dinners and new compact discs course through my mind, my entire body clenches up and my heart rate quickens...
...competition got under way, the Kazakoshi Park Arena--not unlike a high school gym--was filled with Japanese primary schoolchildren, old ladies blowing Piccolo Mini Cheer Horns and a crowd of Canadians crying, "Come on, button boy. Stop, baby, stop." Here was one place where an "in turn," as it happened, referred to "a rock filled with clockwise rotation," as opposed to, not a special prosecutor, but an "out turn."

The Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination ought to include the right not to incriminate a child...
Lewis, however, served a purpose after all. We are now on notice that the conversations we have with our children are not safe from the government. It seems quaint that on the day Monica was handed over by Tripp to Starr's deputies, she could turn to her mother with the expectation that whatever she said, Mom wouldn't tell. But in Ken Starr's America, moms do tell--or else...
